Gale warning with gusts 30 to 40 knots, is this the new way to berth a beneteau 43? No bow line on the windward side just the
Springer taking all the load? Seems to work so far in 30 knots!

Someone who bought a boat with his super payout, doesn't know what sailing is, just wants to tell people he owns a "yacht".

His spring line technique could do with a little work and the mess left around the cleats are, well, a mess....
But considering the apparent gale coming, and there is obviously a spare line lying along the jetty, would've it hurt to of thrown a bow line on??
