front or amidships spring lines
Posted 2022, Mar 30 06:38
In the wind blowing onto the dock, one illustration shows a front spring line, the other an amidships line. Wondering which one is recommended and why the discrepancy. I favor amidships, but not sure that is logical or just something I picked up along the way...

Not seeing any amidships lines here. Only aft and forward. The difference is in the current direction.
