An abandoned resting line on the deck is not only unsightly and dangerous because you might trip over it. It’s also a big problem when you have to reuse it, perhaps in a hurry as is often the case on a boat. The possibility that the line is full of spontaneous knots, making it impossible to use until you have untangled it by losing a lot of time, is very high.
That’s why sailors always preach to adduct (store in skein) any line, so that they always have it ready to use, securing it with simple and practical tie-downs. Here are two solutions for adducting a line from our knot tying manual!
