Stern Tying when anchoring set-ups -Shoreline reels (made in North Vancouver)

[Bill 310]

As you know , there are many spots where folks stern tie to shore as apart of anchoring on the coast




We wanted to set something up on our boat that will be easy to manage, stowable, and handy.

Protech in North Van makes various stern tying reels under the Shoreline brand and we have ordered the smallest model with the mounting kit that uses the scotty downrigger mount as a base .



We are setting ours up with 400 feet of 3/8ths floating poly line

Here are some photos of a much larger version of the model we ordered.

Very handy in places like Desolation Sound

ProTech is awesome.
Say hi to Stu!!

I have this set up on the Canoe Cove, as stated, very handy in Desolation Sound.

Come on, who doesn't like 400' of line all tangled up under the drives? Sign me up, perfect for smugglers cove too.

Wait, what? You didn't put on the floating yellow line?

I didn’t know about the stern tieing to shore thing. What the main reason to do it

You're missing all the fun! Narrow and nasty anchorages, drunk yachities swinging on the hook at night. Stern tie mitigates a bit of that fun anyway.

Some of the anchorages are brutally tight and cliffs. If you swung at night you'd lise your anchor for sure. It's also always fun watching the qualified captain scenes while people try and figure it all out.

I am not sure yet, using the downrigger mount in lieu of a Burnewiin Mount and some extra bits lowers the cost I was expecting to pay. I bought the small reel that takes 400 of 3/8th inch floating line.

When I know I will give you two prices Reel Cost and Wife Cost

All in I expect it will be somewhere between one and one point five Bollars. A Bollar is a Boat Dollar.

One Bollar = One Thousand CDN

Here are the prices at Harbour Chandler

I spliced up double brade for my project managers Ocean Alexander, think it would be better than poly, nicer to handle and takes knots better.

Just say no to polypro.

This stuff is good. There’s a place in NV that sells it and another brand Novabraid, if I recall.

Ultra Quickline

Ultra Quickline

I lusted after that but the brand I bought ended up being more amenable to my boat

Ultra Quickline

Those are nice set ups, but usually a bit short for there and back ties. How do you secure it to your boat? Doesnt seem like it would work on a cleat.

I kept my eye on CL and got this Shoreline rail mount spooled with Samson braid for $300. They were getting out of boating. Mounts on my cleaning table perfectly. I was pretty happy with the deal!!’

The Shoreline is very deluxe. I had this made up by my local aluminum Wizard. I reuse the plastic spools leaded shrimp line comes on ( 400’ ) , added my own handle on each spool with SS bolt, washers and heater hose handle….
