[C320-list] Dock Lines

[katchu at chartermi.net]

When I bought my boat, there was a 50’ dockline aboard with eyes on both ends.  It is great when docking single handed, as the one line allows a bow, stern, and sometimes both springs.  It also allows one person ashore to control both the bow and stern.  Prior to approaching the dock, I attach it to the bow and stern cleat, and keep the rest of the line inside the lifelines.

I would like some recommendations for the diameter and length of dock lines
for my 320 as well what type of material.  I am on a mooring but when
docking at a destination I only have some old crummy lines.  

Thanks,
