If you dumb yankees learned to use a cleat the proper way, you would
have no need for such stupity and waste.


Hey, Joe...can you explain to everyone how a traditional cleated line
will possibly outlast the system shown in my video? We've found lines
will last far, far longer this way because there's no chance of chafing
at the cleat. You also don't have a mess of line on the dock and only
one end to adjust. We have found it 100% superior and so have several
other large marinas in the area. The yard's insurance seems to agree.
Let me guess, Joe...you don't like it because it costs a few bucks
before and it never occured to you!!!!

If you know how to properly tie up to a cleat you will have no
chaffing. If you know how to properly flake line on deck you will have
no mess on the dock. True my system of using a line life sailors have
used line and cleats for centurys will not last longer, but it will
last the same time, and you can use the schackle and thimbles were they
are needed. Unless you have schackle and thimbles for the end on the
boat your line will last no longer. I find Nylon cheap enough to splice
up new lines when needed.

So you set chaffing gear in your chocks, and schackle and thimble your
fancy chrome cleats on deck huh?

I find a propery flaked line very attractive and salty looking,

Well thats just great, but forget about your neighbors re-ajusting your
lines if needed. He would have to boad your vessel.

Are you eating moldy Rye?

You telling me they gave a preamium break for such stupity? Well lets
hope everyone carries sharp knives or marlin pins on the dock, so when
one of the shackled wonders catches on fire. Here we can un-tie a
burning boat with less danger.

Let me guess, Joe...you don't like it because it costs a few bucks

Well I have seen similar in the USN moth ball fleet. But it is done to
vessels rafted together and expecting to be rafted together for
decades. Thats most likey the reason you NY's do it at the docks. The
navy uses custom swedged cables that are wormed, parcled and served,
and chaffing gear is sewn into the serving.

Tell me Rob,, just HOW and on what are your lines being chaffed so fast
that it requires shackles and thimbles?

Joe,

Nutsy's Trolling.

It's a standing joke. He made up a line and shackled to a Cleat. Said
this was how his mariner required hook-ups. Then posted a picture of his
Boat and not a shackled cleat in sight.

You're giving him a chance to re-visit a failed troll He's really
enjoying your responses.

Boat and not a shackled cleat in sight.


Yup...here's a pic showing my boat with no shackles and thimbles.

No springlines either. You also can't see my very nice binoculars or
canvas.
I must not have 'em then!


Call 718-885-2000 if you'd like to confirm the NMYC charter rules. Ask
for Max, Stan or Kenny and they'll confirm what I've already proven.

Stan said you're the biggest asshole at the marina and not
to believe one word you say.

Joe, I've never even seen chaffing on cleat hitch. I've seen chaffing where
the line passes across the boat from the dock, mostly because the line
wasn't in the proper place or the boat hasn't been used in a very long time.
My understanding is that a cleat hitch doesn't move (e.g., untie or tighten,
at least I've never seen any indication that it does), so how could there
possibly be chaffing action upon that part of the line?

Leave it to bob**** to be unable to use a simple device like
a cleat. They've only been in use for how many centuries?

I wonder if he has any pictures of how he uses a cleat. Perhaps we can
diagnose why he's getting chafe on them.
