Line organizing 

+Wayne Bilko Thanks yeah that would be a good one but a bit more involved. I Have a bit of an issue in my cockpit I may tackle in a few weeks so stay tuned

Glad it could be of help

Incorrect. Standing end and bitter end are synonyms.

Please show me a reference to the term "standing END."

"The standing end (or standing part) of a rope is the part not active in knot tying.[1] It is the part opposite of the working end.[3] Bitter end[edit]Another term for the standing end. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_knot_terminologyYou can also look here, and many other places: www.handymariner.com/parts-of-a-rope/

"Standing end: The long part of the rope that’s not active while tying your knot." That makes no sense. If it's the "long part" it's not the end, so how could it be a "standing END"? It's a standing part.

You're overthinking this. Say standing part or standing end, as you prefer, everyone will know what you mean.

@@oceannavigatormag Im diagnosed with ocd, are you guys? Cause its not a verb in the dictionary, when everyone talks like you guys are, about simple regular tasks and being "ocd" it shows your complete lack of understanding about the illness. It's a burden to have the illness and hear others talk about it being used so liberally as a verb, you see it completely nullifies and normalises my illness to the point no one listens or cares or worse they say "oh I have that, it's not a problem, you shouldn't be struggling etc" Well I can tell you that it's a terrible illness and leads to one of the lowest qualities of life according to many reports, mostly because people can't tell and cut zero slack for you, in fact because we are quite often so good at our jobs people expect more from us, thus increasing anxiety and pressure. If you care about people please try to stop using ocd to describe detailed activities. It's a far cry from the reality which includes life like ruminations permanently running in your head about say; religious,sexual or violent scenes, the need to repeat behaviors over and over just to feel comfortable in your own skin, if you can't do the behaviors it can feel like you literally want to pull all your hair out or peel your skin off or gouge your own eyes out and it never stops in fact the more the compulsions become routine the worse it becomes, if you manage to get over one for good, a new one takes it place. Anyway I think I've given you enough insight to kindly consider my request, please stop using ocd in such a ridiculous way, it get hard to hear the whole world nullifying it in this fashion. But that said thanks for the content

@@labrat3305 I had no idea (as I'm sure they didn't either). Thanks for opening up and sharing the realities of your struggle. I've never actually used it that way, not because I realized what you were struggling with, only because most people who act as described above are only doing it to be in control of other people: in this case there is a good safety argument of course, I'm not talking about that, rather specifically times when there is no good reason except "because i said so", and I think it's better to call them out on their asinine behaviour rather than to make light by referring to some illness we both know they don't have. In truth I've never had a person who I actually suspected of having OCD tell me what I have to do, they just quietly redo it themselves if I didn't do it to their standard, like you eluded to, to be comfortable in the situation. But saying that, I will try to do things to a higher standard now regarding them, as I didn't realise it caused them so much stress. Again thanks for the insight. Sincerely

What part?

@Wilfred Darr Righthand lay coils Clockwise it's obvious that his braided line has been coiled clockwise as shown by it's memory and is why it's buckling so much. Braid needs french coil clockwise one place from over and the second clockwise place from under. Figure 8 coil is the number one sign of an untrained sailor and is the worst way to coil on a boat, tug or ship as it will always jam. Bundline coil is the method to make up a coil so it can hang without unraveling by the standing part. Then again looking at the coil it's already buckled showing the coils where incorrectly twisted, being the cause of a jam on every loop. Bights are folds or doubling of line not single loops taken round a coil. The idea of organisation is right but the methods shown will make any old salt boil. Seamanship is doing the hard work when it's going easy so the work is easy when the going gets hard. Best try what works for you but practicing the first things that are beaten out of any sailor isn't a good start.

@@alexnewman8793 Naw I disagree. First, you're confusing 3 strand and braided: the double braid he's using doesn't have a lay. And braided line is just more prone to buckling than 3 strand so I would definitely stay away from accusing him of putting in memory (you accuse him of introducing memory but that's not even possible since he uses figure 8 coils). And the fact that you say it's a sign of an untrained sailor and then say something like that tells me you don't have the experience you are claiming. I could give you 10 professional world class sailors who figure eight just off the top of my head, but you've already made up your mind. Don't worry, it's not a problem because with an attitude as arrogant as yours I doubt you get invited on other people's boats that often. As for the French coils, it is in effect the same as a figure 8 (the bottom of the figure 8 is just flaked over under the next figure 8, which is flaked under the next, and on and on), but depending on how close your coil is to the block it doesn't have enough time to sort itself as it unflakes (at most its only ever got 2 twists, but 2 twists next to a block is enough to jam as I found out), so after using it for a year (I wanted to give it a fair shake to make sure it wasn't just me being biased) I went back to figure 8's. French coil is certainly better than a standard coil, but not near as good as a figure 8. I will concede there are better videos out there, like this one from Annapolis performance sailing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vX4Zr0vdGHE.html And from your "old salt" comment in guessing you're probably a huge fan of the Flemish flake too.
