How to Coil a Line

There are many ways to coil a mooring or anchor line on your boat, but if you do it improperly, twist can get into the line. Worse, you could reach for a line as you approach the dock, and discover a big, tangled mess. Use this technique to coil your line, and it will always be free of twist, neatly stowed, and ready for use the next time you need it.
