I just coil my line then wrap it around the bow rail. It's tough to explain so I'll try to upload a picture. Basically all you do after you coil the line is hold it alongside the bow rail. Then you reach through, grab the bottom end of the coil and bring it up through the top end of the coil. Then snug it tight.

Like I said, it's easier to load a picture than to explain the procedure so everyone understands it.

The beauty of doing it this way is you can move the lines to wherever you want without having to move a line holder. Plus, the line can still be attached to a cleat and you do this with the bitter end.

Exactly Mike,
It is so easy; nothing required other than a rail and the line. (see bottom centre of photo)

But there is money to be made selling special rope hanging devices.
