ABSTRACT:
A spring line for a marine vessel for securing the mid portion of a vessel to a pier having a cleat or post that includes a continuous line having first and second free ends and a substantially centrally located loop, wherein the loop is cleated to a single cleat along the midships of the vessel and each free end of the line is sufficiently long enough for cleating to cleats on the pier. The invention eliminates the necessity of two separate spring lines, greatly reducing costs and reducing operator input necessary for securing or unsecuring the vessel. The centrally disposed loop in the line is integrally formed with the entire loop and woven integrally therewith for strength.
