Created bridle by line secured to both bow cleats


I used bowline knots on each side - one on the mooring ball's line (which was thick and very long), and on the spare dockline at its midpoint between the cleats. Per the multihull book, we allowed that dockline to have an overall working length of 150% of the space between the bow cleats.

I'm concerned the bridle might catch the anchor so will try to get the anchor secured into its locker before we leave. Note - turned out it was fine and the line never caught on the anchor.
