Adam,
My suggestion would be to rig all lines to the piles so that you leave them on the piles when you leave. Put a nail in the piles to hang the lines on. Make the line to pile 2 long enough so you can hang it on pile 4. Then rig a long extra line to pile 4 and lead it to a starboard middeck snatch block and back to the cockpit starboard jib sheet winch. Slack lines so that you can cast off and hang up lines to pile 1 and 3. You are now hanging on 2 and 4 and the aft spring. Slack the line to pile 2 as you take up on the spring. You will hang on the spring and the bow will fall off the wind. Hang up the stern line to pile 4 and the port bow line on pile 4. Now engage the engine slow astern to hold her in position as you hang up the spring and slow astern out. Cheers Ansley Sawyer SV Pacem |
