lots of yards have maintenance guys for hire . everyone has their own boats to prepare so imho it's totally unlikely you'll find anyone to do these jobs for you without pay.

Hi,

I’m just heading to the airport now, and will be on the next flight to Chicago to get your lines sorted for you.

Keep your chin up. There is likely someone local who can help. Are you new to sailing? Some idea of your skills may help.

I'm on the west coast, but if I were local....

Would give you a hand if I was back in Chicago at the plant, but alas I am back in Michigan. Sorting out lines? do you not have a manual to refer to?

It looks like he responded to his post regarding replacing his lines. He may not be trolling after all.
I don't know about that but who, ever calls his vessel a "HE!"mmm Not me mine is a "SHE" unless he doesn't know how to spell. I've always seen woman mounted on the bow's, and not men... lol

In Spanish, 'sailboat' is a masculine noun. Do you even understand that concept? By the way, is it not OK for a person whose native tongue is Spanish to attempt to communicate in English? Or is that now a problem with angry old men, too?

While we're being pissy about the use of English, you really ought to go back to middle school. Your post is chock-full of grammatical errors. Apparently, you don't speak English well, either.

Nieves... check ASA online for tying a boat to the dock. You will get recommended line sizes and lengths as well as knots. Also, simply call SailboatOwners to get all the help you need! Also, look up YouTube videos. Lastly, but maybe FIRSTLY, ask your dockmates. Sailors are a helpful group of people who thrive on learning, knowing, mastering, and sharing knowledge! If you are new to sailing, admit it to your dockmates, and someone will help you. We help new owners in our marina often. It saves our paint!

During my CG Vessel Safety inspection I received recognition and bonus points for proper identification and use of Ropes, Lines, Chain, and Rode. Just saying.
