Sweating A Dock Line - When DOESN'T it work?

A little video a made before Xmas, and forgot about. Figured I might as well post it as it is in the realms of 'Kind of Interesting', if you are interested in the loads sweating a dockline creates. Roughly made but there we go. This is a follow up video based on the first dockline load video I made. Hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think I got wrong :). Its been rare, but a couple of times I have come across situations where a sailboat cannot be brought into the dock by sweating a dockline. This is usually pretty extreme circumstances (+40knots of wind, very little protection from seawalls etc). It caused me to wonder, why can't a boat always be moved if sweating a line can potentially give an infinite tension on the line. This is a little bit of figuring out why that is.

We usually both go for a nice classic black coffee, in case you wanted to visualize the beverage you're bestowing upon us. :) Thank you for your support! https://buymeacoffee.com/theincompetentcrew On the off chance you've made it all the way down here and you're not subscribed, go ahead and do that.
