About to deploy a complete new set of nice white soft mooring warps (thank you Malthouse). Swmbo wants me to put loops in the end for attachment to our cleats.
Me, I hate loops and would prefer to pop a bowline in the end when a loop is needed but always know that both ends of the rope are 'clean' if a fig 8 is used or when passing a warp back from another boat in a raft.
I always fear pulling a singled up warp back aboard as we leave a mooring to find a damn loop in it that has hooked itself around a cleat or something!
What do others do?
