If you have loops on both ends, how do you adjust the length?


Oh, didn't actually say: At "home", we don't adjust them ever. They're
set for the life of the line.

Our "away" lines at most have one loop since they need adjustment.

We use old sheets (no loops) under certain conditions -- they can be
thrown quite a distance. Handy when warping raft-mates in.


If you want to go through the Panama Canal you are required to have
four 150 foot lines.
