Not too hard to deal with, just a factoid of life.

probably still better than many of the poorly made chocks that are installed.

Yeah...some boats are tough without adding a special cleat, ring or sampson post...or good chocks...

My real point wasn't to cover every cleat situation but to point out that a line leading anywhere that is only looped should be a closed loop versus open to minimize chafe...however you can attach it to the boat.
