Marlinspike seamanship depends on lines and wires. This section of the manual explains the parts of a line and how to store a line properly.

A line has two ends. The bitter end of a line is not attached to anything. When you part a line, it may require whipping to prevent fraying. You may also want to take a turn around something before you part a line. This will ensure that you maintain control of both ends of the line.

One of the most important things to know when handling a line is how to properly store it. A common storage technique is to make a coil. For various types of line storage, the bights are laid down differently.

To coil down a line, you stack the bights on top of each other. You can also flemish down a line. In this case, you wrap each bight around the one before. Another option is to fake down a line by laying the bights alongside each other

It is also important to note whether a line has been coiled with the sun or against the sun. This will ensure that you uncoil if properly.
