I'm in a single berth... barely enough for the 10 foot beam of the
boat.

I inherited them on my old boat and they made sense on a few of the
docklines. Where the distance is small, say under 5 feet, there is
not
enough room for the stretch of nylon to take affect, but the
geometry
sometimes means the short runs need the most stretch..

On the catamaran, every dockline has 20 to 30 feet from the deck to
the
dock cleat, so there's plenty of room for stretch, and the boat can
move a
fair amount without stressing any line. Also, the cat doesn't do
the
nasty dock roll that seems to kill dock lines the fastest.

BTW, I also had a snubber on the mainsheet of the Nonsuch - it came
in
handy when jibing.



Boom brake?
