Rod, I installed mine in a « W » pattern from toerail to lower life line from pulpit to the stanchion near the shrouds. About 6 inches between each knots. I used cow hitch on the line and on the rail with a little tension on the rope to prevent slipping. I think the stretch of the paracord helps to keep it tidy. I remember using good quality paracord, they are not all the same. It took some time but I like the result as It doesn’t affect the good looks of the boat!
This is more to help keep sails on deck and i like the added safety when working on the bow. Not enough for kids or pets.
