Capt Jack says he's using the spring line "from the stern cleat of the boat to the last cleat on the dock". And then "using the line with both ends in hands". So which is it? Cheers

You can do either, or a combination. Depends on the size/displacement of your boat. Capt Jack is able to have both ends of the line in his hands with his 30' Chris Craft. With a larger/heavier boat, you may want to secure one end to your stern cleat, loop the line over the last dock cleat, then hold the bitter end in your hand. You can also at that point loop the bitter end around your stern cleat, but do not secure it as you need to adjust and keep the line taut as you reach the pivot point.

I would also add that it might take a couple of times to perfect this manuever. I used it all the time on my previous boat, a Gulf 40 (25,000 lbs), and my current boat, a North Sea 33 (16,400 lbs). It's very easy to do going with prop walk in reverse, but you can also do it against both prop walk and wind. Just remember to idle in reverse when doing that. G'day!
