Previous threads have questioned the effectiveness of a rope cutter
There we were gently leaving the marina berth in Mallorca when our forward progress was momentarily arrested and there was a disconcerting clunking sound from below. People on the quay shouted that we had caught a mooring/bow line. Suddenly we were free again. When we got out of the marina into some clear water I snorkled to see if the propellor was ok. I found a 1/2 metre length of bow line on one of the blades and a few other fragements of rope. As you can see from the photo, the line that we cut was quite substantial and is probably 40mm. I took the photos after we returned for the next evening.
