What's the best way to secure your bow and stern lines when casting off? I usually tie the bow line to the rail with a double half-hitch. But it takes some fiddling to untie when I have to do it fast in tough wind.

These work well, adjust and snap to lock, and remain captive on the line at any desired point in its length.
No, of course this wouldn't be used to secure the line to when mooring. I thought he wanted a way to secure the line back and to the rail so as not to have to remove it from the forward cleat.Nehalennia said:Sorrento 25 said:You may want to try this.

Not for lines. Those are for fenders. Lines would more than likely break the device and are really meant to attach to your railing also not advised for tieing your lines to.
