[Public-List] chafing gear

[gordon white]

    Even those commercial (and expensive) line protectors can bite you 
on mooring lines. I recently found one of my stern lines in the water 
and the boat bobbing up against my pier. (lucky it wasn't on a mooring)

     The heavy canvas chafe protector had, itself, worn through on the 
bottom side (out of sight) and let the line wear away in the chock.
