A properly sized
Three Strand Nylon dock line doesn't need a snubber. Most of the dock lines I have seen are
WAY Oversized for the boat, which limits their elasticity for a given length. Bigger is NOT better for dock lines and anchor rodes. Just sayin..
Check Chapman's "
PILOTING Seamanship and Small Boat Handling" for the proper size lines for Your size boat.
