[Rhodes22-list] Spring Lines

We attached ours to the cabin bulkhead grab handles; Stan sure used heavy duty hardwear 25+ years ago. Still rock solid including fastenings useful when high winds parallel to slip cause undesirable movement.

  We don't use spring lines in our regular slip but have needed them 
  when travelling or rafting up with another boat. Most of our lines - 
  except the stern lines in our slip - are 3/8" so we just use the 
  existing cleats. We did change out our very small single bow cleat 
  for a larger single cleat a few years ago and can now get several lines on it.
