How to Lasso a Cleat (or Piling) while Docking

[@jennifercheney5229]

Great technique! Also, as an extra precaution, I use soft, supple, long floating dock lines so I don’t have to worry about the prop!

Great tip!

Whatever floats your boat. Or in this case, Whatever catches the cleat. The important thing, scientifically speaking, is to have as great a percentage of the total mass of the rope in each hand when throwing, in order to transfer as much inertia to the rope as possible. The mass that isn't thrown from your hands, meaning the ends you're holding onto or have fastened to the boat, have a velocity of 0, meaning they'll steal inertia/velocity from the thrown part of the rope, reducing the overall throwing distance.

Anyone with two brain cells to rub together should be able to that at a dock. The real trick is throwing 2 Inch soaking wet nylon 200 miles offshore in 12 foot seas on platform bit. In February. During a freezing cold 25 knot wind. Give that a try.

It's your arm span, smart guy. Not wing spand or arm spand.
