Docking Course: Sail: https://www.nauticed.org/sailing-courses/view/maneuvering-under-power Power: https://www.nauticed.org/powerboating-courses/view/skipper-large-powerboat R&W Rope - https://www.rwrope.com How long should your dock lines be? Quick rule of thumb: Bow & Stern lines: ~ 40-60% of your boat’s LOA (length overall) Spring lines: ~1× LOA (keep one extra-long spring ~1.5× LOA for flexibility) That’s it—fast guidance for sizing bow, stern, and spring lines so you’re ready for slips, T-heads, and changing tides. #docking #sailing #boat #boating
