Sweet! That thing is bad-ass.

the one pic shoes your stern ropes crosed, when tied up at the doc.

Now I undertand all kinds of way to tie a boat up, and spring lines.

BUT what was the purpose of this? Am i missing something?

the ropes keep the boat from going left or right, same as if you just ties the left side tot he left cleat, and right side to the right cleat.

and both keep the boat from going out of the slip?

so why did you cross them to make it harder to get on boat?

sorry to jump in thread.

The crossed lines allow for the in & outgoing tide on fixed docks. If you tie directly to the dockside your boat might end up hanging at low tide or bound down during an unusually high tide.

AAAHHHH ok casue with the longer leads it does not change as much tensionon the boat when moving up and down as it would tied directly.

make since. I will be remember this next time I am at the coast.

can you tell I am used to floating docs? ha

We need pics of 'beertruck' 's 35 Flame on here as well.

Best looking black boat hands down.....one of my all time favs.

It pains me to see it sit in the classified for so long. I wish I could snatch it up so bad.

I have a cool one on my home computer behind his matching truck but this one I took in Vancouver's English Bay would do for now.

My most favorite Hull/deck timeless classic colour combo is Dennis Washington's Attessa.

I know what you mean. I can't believe that boat even made it to the classifieds in the first place. It's definitely the all around baddest 36 Apache I've seen, & was cared for by a billionaire's yacht crew daily on top of that. I bet that boat has seen more soap than water it's so clean.

I may be biased but.............
