Good one Paul. ‘ flaking ‘ , goofy ears , is much better then classic coiling. To finish off a hanging end, I just take a huge bite or loop in the d of the line, and secure the line with three half hitches around the coil by your hand… Immeadiately gives you a loop to hang it up!

I've always done the figure 8. Works fine. Easy to split for tossing, never kinks. But I'll try this. Thanks.

@derekec !!! Great to hear from you, and thanks for your open-minded and constructive approach to seamanship. After you practice the two methods, I'd love to hear more about your experiences comparing and contrasting the two approaches to coiling: figure 8s and split coils (Goofy Ears). Aloha, Paul

Bravo! It is amazing to me how few people know how to properly coil a line.

Aloha, Bo Jangles! I agree -- it IS amazing how many sailors coil their line incorrectly, initiating hockles consistently and wondering why? It's interesting how "personal" sailors take their coiling, even when asked: "Do you always get twists in your line?" They say: yes. Then when they're shown how to coil to alleviate the hockles, they deny the method completely and continue to coil incorrectly. This resistance to change amazes me. Aloha. Paul

Thank you, Joe! I'm glad the video provided good instruction. I'll work on a follow-up video which shows the alternating coils over the hand. In the meantime, please give this a try and let me know how it goes. Basically, just lay each coil over the top of your hand, and let the new coil lay-down, then repeat. Fair winds, Paul

Aloha, TV Stimson ... yes, I would! A actually coil my extension cords the same way, except the ending I use for my extension cords is to simply pass the bitter-end once through the coil's head and let it hang down naturally from there.

the winch coil.... I didn't catch what you did with the tail after wrapping.
@PaulExner
2 ай бұрын
Hi ... The tail just hangs down and loose after wrapping the tail-end around the "head" effectively making a "turtleneck sweater" look; the rope coming from the winch then passes through the "head" which traps the "turtleneck" and then hangs tightly on the winch. This works great!
