We use 3/4" twisted lines on our home dock and 5/8" twisted and braided for our transient lines. We double the 3/4" lines for storms. I can get two on each cleat. During Ian, we had two that parted during the storm and several others with significant chaffing (20 lines total).

Anyway, they are...

Old dock has been torn out. Hopefully within two weeks the dock is done. Therefore, on Friday I called DYS. The fiberglass work is done. Still need rubrail, striping, the little polycarbonate window on the bridge, one coat of bottom paint, and canvas. I should have started nagging a month or two...
