New Tie-Off for the Boat
One of the projects I had on my list for this trip was to upgrade the tie-off for our boat. Since there are three houses that share one float, we need a method to keep them accessible but off the loading area. The tie-offs are simply lines with weights on the end strung out to a piling that a boat is clipped on to.
I decided to change the way ours connects to the dock by splicing an eye in the line and installing galvanized hardware. This makes it stronger (and simpler) than a clove hitch.
I also added a dedicated cleat for our boat, so we won’t have to hitch it to the railing every time, again making the process simpler.
