Well SHOOOOOOT!!...so on a floating dock, there would be no reason to cross-tie?...

we cross the lines on the side of the boats when tying them up, it gives you a better angle to hold the boats in one position, fore and aft. you can't keep the boat in place if you run it straight over to the cleat. I can't understand why anyone would cross the lines over the back othere than to allow for the tidal rise. You don't see many docks set up like that down here so its not something too common. With the winds and tides we have around here, that set up would break the rod holder pretty quick. Those docks must be in a pretty well protected area
