In Response To: deck lines (JayBabina)

I'm still waiting for an answer to the question I asked some time ago:

I'd like to hear a good argument against deck lines and good end toggles, aside from the cosmetic one.

As others have pointed out, deck lines aren't only for use in rescues.
Deck lines provide options for attaching gear (deck compasses, for example) and just make boat handling a lot easier, both on and off the water.
