The Flemish coil is the attractive way to store a line on a boat when it is not in use. This is a flat coil, laid on the deck, with the end of the line in the center and the unused portion of the line wound around this. Depending upon the type of line, it is more difficult to make an attractive Flemish coil that it might appear. These are often found on the bow of sailboats when at dock because of their attractive appearance, but it is not a proper means of storing a line when a boat is underway.
