    HOW TO USE THE MOORING WHIPS

    BOARDING THE BOAT:
    1. To board the boat when the whip is in use, simply unfasten one of the whip lines from the whip cleat. This will release the whip pressure. The released tension will cause the pole to retract upward, allowing that end of the boat to return to the dock for easy boarding. The other end of the boat will remain held securely in a position away from the dock.
    2. After the engine has been started and boarding is complete, release the second whip line and all of the dock lines from the boat cleats.
    3. Leave dock lines out of the water and ready for return attachment.
    4. Motor away from the dock after re-confirming that the dock and whip lines are detached from the boat.

    DOCKING THE BOAT:
    The boat should be positioned 3 – 5ft from the dock
    1. The forward hand should have the bow line within reach before you stop. Secure the bow and forward spring lines, then place the bow whip line loop over the bow cleat.
    2. The stern hand then secures the stern and rear spring lines. Simply pull the stern of the boat towards the dock for disembarking. Check that all lines are secure and place the stern whip loop over the stern cleat.
    3. From the dock pull down on the tail end of the whip lines. This will position the boat away from the dock and tighten the dock lines. Apply enough pressure to firm the dock lines and secure the tail end of the whip lines to the whip cleat. Do not over tighten the whip lines.
    4. The boat will now be riding parallel to the dock, at least 3’ away, so that it can move about under control. This is called a ‘soft mooring’ since the boat is not held rigidly. It presents little stress to the boat, dock lines, and the dock itself.
