clear answer
thanks thom

truth is in 6 years i've owned my boat i rarely have tied up at a dock for
any length of time ususally once at the begining of the season somewhere in
the middle , and if i'm landing in another port.
boat stays on a mooring or an anchor vast majority of the time.

thanks to all those that answered.

GF,

Equal tension isn't really that hard. When setting the lines, move the
boat to release the tension. All lines should go slack together. When
restoring tension all slack should be taken up together. Now, this
doesn't mean they are set properly. Wind and tide will vary the
direction of the load and adjustments may have to be made to compensate.
That is why lines are use, because of their ability to stretch and
equilize the load

Right boobie. You prove yourself to be incompetent and your defense is that
you were lying. And you're calling me a fool???

It sure seems like your posts are one inexplicable thing after another.


Oh, now it "seems" that way. A while ago it WAS that way.
Jeff lied AGAIN.
Hint for Jeff: Learn a bit more about English before attempting to debate an
issue. You look to be quite the fool!

Why is that? Every trip he's talked about has been on other people's boats, not
his. Every trip he's made has been with full electronics, and he's still been
lost, and had to call the Coast Guard. In his "Gulf Stream" episode he still
hasn't been able to identify where they were and which buoy he was looking for.
He was probably hanging over the rail or cleaning his pants.

When I started doing offshore trips it was in wooden boats with no gps, loran,
radar, of even vhf. The Ray Jeff RDF was considered hi tech. Jaxie likes to
rag me because the last few years I've been doing family sailing, and staying
closer to shore. Jaxie had a family once, but his wife left him because she was
terrified to sail with him. or so he claims.

A clearly, if you think the lines part spontaneously, for no reason at all, then
you're a complete putz!

I guess it really hurts bad when you get trounced, eh jaxie?


Jeff, I'm sorry to say that Jax really does take offshore trips. Since he's
also alive and not the subject of any lost at sea movies it's a fair
assumption
that he knows more than you. Based on you idiotic comments about lines and
breaking limits I'm certain of it!

And you're calling me a fool???


Jeff, did you not see the pic of my boat on the hard?
Yes, you are a fool.

RB

Your posts outnumbered mine by about 5 to 1. Looks like you've been dangling
on my hook, booby.

Our new boat will probably send Scotty and Loco off a roof together, arm
n'
arm!.

You really do live in your own little world. I worry more about if I'm going
to get dog crap in my lawn tractor tires that what your next boat will be.
No matter what your boating platform is you will still go home to your
undersized but overpriced N.Y. POS walkup apartment. I'll continue to daysail
on my little 30 footer and go home to my fabulous home in the country.

I go home to a house on a lake upon which I sail frequently. I also
have my boat in Sausalito, which is pretty damn nice.
