I have been boating since I was a kid and I am 74 now, but I still enjoy watching this type of shows, because, even if I don't learn anything new, I am reminded of how to do it properly. I also find that I learn something new, more times than you would think as there are changes in technology and better idea's from other people. Keep up the good work, you make things easy to understand for us all.

I live in at NC Coast where most people have floating docks. A few weeks ago was the first time taking my 24' bay boat to Florida Keys fishing where I had a rental canal house and I was a nervous wreck about tying at a fixed dock for a week. I saw this video while researching best options and forgot everything any others had to say. I purchased 4 25' dock lines just for this, tied boat exactly like shown and it worked perfect. When going fishing I just unhooked lines from the boat and laid them on the dock, come back and hook to same cleats. Once lines were set and tied, I didn't have to adjust. Worked perfect. Thanks for the informative video!

This is all fine and dandy EXCEPT when your docking at a busy Dock !!!. There will be 4/6 boats trying to dock at this dock !! You using Long lines and using 4+ dock cleats will piss off other boaters !! Don't get me wrong, You're 100% Correct with this Line method !!!!. But, If you attempt to do this at a busy Dock, Any Dock Tender (Person helping with docking at many places) won't allow you to do this !!!! They INSIST on Short lines, And most only allow 2 cleats for smaller boats !!. Believe me, I've had this argument many times !!!!. BUT, Great Video and explanation of how the lines work !! Many MANY boaters don't understand this !!. Thanks

I was thinking that the entire time watching the video. The method shown is not practical in 90% of the situations encountered. No f'ing way you can run a line that long at a public dock. Thankfully I'm on a lake and never deal with tide issues so my lines can be shorter.

Love this video and great concepts to learn but agree about hogging cleats at public docks. Another way to do this at a busy dock is to wrap piling by using the loop end to create a large loop that can go around even pilings this size and then tying off to your boat cleats. If you need to use the same piling as another boater, you can "dip the eye" by going up through your neighbors loop around the piling and then around the piling with your loop so that both of you can release without disturbing the other line. As to the set up in the video, I would tie another line over the mid-cleat to make sure the spring lines don;t back off the cleat horns.

As the Coast Guard would say, "if a boater does not know how to tie a real knot, they will tie a MORE KNOT". In other words they tie something till they run out of line. That's when they are done! :) Again, thank you for the great video.

Very impressed by Brooks boat handling abilities. Thank you for making this video and explaining spring lines. In extreme tidal areas, you would want to put your spring lines further out, that is, on the stern cleat and bow cleat, and then run your spring line the length of the boat to dock cleat. I’m sorry, but, your cleating hitch is incorrect.I highly recommend Chapman Piloting and Seamanship book.It is a most excellent reference for all small boat operations. It is well worth the investment. Capt. Fred

If you are on a lake you don't need to worry about tides. But wicked storms, winds and current can be just as bad especially on the Great Lakes where the weather can be very unpredictable. This is a very good video with excellent points regardless of location. Pilings where I'm at aren't nearly as nice as yours so securing a boat is always a challenge. Also, long lines is the goal but cleats are not always available if docks are full (which is often the case) so you just have to make due in those situations and tie up to pilings instead of cleats.
