Traditional whipping the end of a dock line historically was done with whipping twine, which I respect and also thought it would be a sort of fun skill to refine. However, it seems like you don't see it as much even with marine or captain's training classes... Is this because more are going the easier route with melting, shrink tubing, magic tape or liquid rope whipping?
Also is there advantages or disadvantages to the various options that might be moving the industry away from twine whipping...?
Finally; is this sort of like asking what is the best anchor?
Ha!
