Spring lines from bow to stern, or between mid-ship and bow/stern?
Like the title asks: I learned and have always tied lines from midship cleats to dock cleats near the bow and stern and that's also mostly what K see around. But as I'm in the market for new dock lines, a lot of the guidelines I'm seeing assume spring lines are from a bow/stern cleat to a dock cleat near the stern/bow of the boat. Implying a much longer line needed.
What do you all do?
