Professional mariners and boaters who know what they are doing coil the lines like that. It's called Flemishing. If you lay line out in parallel rows its called Flacking and if you lay line down in a series of figure eights it's called Faking. See your subscription to OSO is worth it! LOL

I don't know how to do the braid, so I will coil them if I tying up; especially if boat is going to be there for a while.
The coil is a little less obstructive when laying on the dock.
Otherwise, my GF has taught most of her friends that go out with us to do the braid. They are usually doing such as I finish shutting down and ensuring fenders are properly placed.
