Gale warning with gusts 30 to 40 knots, is this the new way to berth a beneteau 43? No bow line on the windward side just the
Springer taking all the load? Seems to work so far in 30 knots!

Well if it works it works.

But I always tie up old school.

Could be a case of oh we need to catch the flight back to our office jobs? She will be right .

Someone who bought a boat with his super payout, doesn't know what sailing is, just wants to tell people he owns a "yacht".

His spring line technique could do with a little work and the mess left around the cleats are, well, a mess....

But considering the apparent gale coming, and there is obviously a spare line lying along the jetty, would've it hurt to of thrown a bow line on??
