## Quick answer

Cleats are spaced approximately 8 feet apart; 3/8 to 1/2 inch lines work best.

## Detailed answer

The boarding docks feature galvanized steel cleats on 8-foot centers. Trailer boaters using 15 to 30-foot vessels find 3/8 or 1/2 inch braided nylon dock lines ideal for securing during loading. Bring 15-foot minimum lines for tidal or wind shifts.
