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!

Well if it works it works.

But I always tie up old school.

Could be a case of oh we need to catch the flight back to our office jobs? She will be right .

Probably a old cow boy used to tieing up his horse South Ace

Dunno just makes me wonder when I see this stuff. I been thinking all day about running double lines to my 12 tonne yacht!

maybe he wants to collect the insurance

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

Maybe Gale is his mother in law

I tie a full windsor myself

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??

Hire boat or group ownership???
