| Summary: | strap n The stern straps were fashioned from stout manila rope, the two ends being pushed through holes in the top section of the dory's stern and secured on the outside by the forming of knots, leaving a loop or becket approximately sixteen inches long hanging down on the inside. On Banks fishing vessels they were used to hoist dories outboard and inboard.] On shore-fishing dories they served as an attachment for a stern line anchor rope to prevent the boats from drifting ashore to chafe on the rocks.
