Having eyed docklines in times of casual curiosity, I was amazed at what I found.
Equally impressive is this 7pp thread over yonder on another site about the "proper"
way to engage cordage to cleat. Seems that only one respondent follow's the method
shown by Brion and several others, and many are swearing by some hearts & kisses
technique new to my mind--"OXO / OXXO". This recalls the variety of responses
and interesting rationales returned to Brion's query on which end of the line to pass
to the cleat from aboard; so I thought I'd put this topic here and listen to replies.
