Description
Buccaneer Twisted Dock Lines are manufactured with marine grade rope that stretches and absorbs shock to protect your boat. These dock lines have a good "hand" (feels good), and resist abrasion for durability and value.
Rope manufacturers recommend bow and stern lines be 1 1/2 to 2 times the boat's beam and spring lines should be 3/4 times the boat's length.

- Bow and stern dock lines are generally used in conjunction with spring lines to secure a boat to a dock. It is recommended that the diameter of the dock line be determined by the length of the boat as indicated above, but some boaters use a larger-than-recommended diameter because they feel more secure or prefer the feel of a larger line while docking
