FAQs - Dock Lines
The size of your dock line depends on your boat’s length. Generally, boats up to 27 feet require 3/8-inch lines, boats 28-31 feet need 1/2-inch lines, and boats over 32 feet typically use 5/8-inch lines. Yachtkeeper offers dock lines in various sizes to match your vessel’s needs with precision and durability.
Dock lines are ropes specifically designed to secure boats to docks, piers, or mooring posts. Yachtkeeper dock lines are made in the USA using high-quality materials to ensure superior strength and protection for your vessel.
Most boats require at least four dock lines—two bow lines and two stern lines—to secure the vessel safely. Additional spring lines may be necessary for added stability. Yachtkeeper provides a variety of options to cover all mooring configurations.
Dock lines, including bow, stern, and spring lines, such as those from Yachtkeeper, vary in length based on vessel size and conditions. Bow and stern lines are generally 2/3 of the boat's length, while spring lines match the full vessel length. For a 30-foot boat, Yachtkeeper dock lines in 20-foot (bow/stern) and 30-foot (spring) lengths are ideal. Nylon dock lines offer durability, shock absorption, and adaptability to tides and weather changes.
Store dock lines in a dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent wear. Clean them with fresh water and mild soap after use to remove salt and debris. Yachtkeeper dock lines are durable and built to withstand marine conditions with proper care.
Nylon is the most popular material for dock lines due to its strength, flexibility, and resistance to UV and water damage. Yachtkeeper dock lines are made from premium nylon for maximum durability and reliability.
Double-braid dock lines offer higher strength and a smoother finish, ideal for frequent handling, while three-strand lines provide elasticity and are better for tidal changes. Yachtkeeper offers both options to fit your boating needs.
Dock lines come in a variety of colors, including black, white and blue, allowing boaters to match their vessel’s aesthetic or improve visibility. Yachtkeeper has a range of colors to complement any boat.
Spring lines prevent a boat from moving forward or backward at the dock, especially in high winds or currents, complementing bow and stern lines for added security. Versatile Yachtkeeper dock lines are ideal as spring lines, offering the strength and elasticity needed to secure your boat effectively. Select the right length for your vessel and docking setup to ensure maximum stability and performance.
Replace dock lines when you notice fraying, discoloration, or loss of flexibility, as these are signs of wear. Yachtkeeper dock lines are built to last but should still be inspected regularly for safety.
