Number of mooring lines

Ideally, a boat is secured with four mooring lines.
The stern line is attached to the stern of the boat to maintain a constant distance between the boat and the mooring. The bow line serves exactly the same purpose. The two springs prevent the boat from drifting forwards and backwards. The springs are particularly important in waters with high and low tides or in waters with strong currents.

Everything you need to know about splicing

The splice addition in the image is intended for a splice with an eye of up to 40 cm. If a further splice is required, e.g. on the other end, the splice addition must also be taken into account. Otherwise, in the case of a one-ended splice, the opposite end is always whipped. For an eye splice of more than 40 cm in length, an additional 50 cm must be added to the existing splice addition.
Note:
The exact eye length is measured by pulling the eye lengthwise and measuring the distance from left to right (clear dimension).
Please note that a custom-make must be at least 2 metres long. For shorter lengths, please contact our customer service on 0421-572900 or by email to: .
