Flaking a Line

Verb: to flake a line

Flaking a line is neatly coiling or laying out a rope or line in a series of loops on a flat surface, such as a deck or dock. This technique helps to prevent tangles and kinks in the line, making it easier to handle and deploy when needed. Properly flaking a line allows for quick and smooth deployment during docking, anchoring, or towing activities.
