Hi everyone. Can you show me your favorite clothesline to take on a liveaboard? (To anttach to the boat somewhere outside your room to dry quicker). Also any other favorite tips for packing for a liveaboard. Thanks!

Every boat I have been on has had plenty of hangers and a dedicated drying area but if I thought I needed a clothesline I would pack a small hank of 550 paracord.

I'm using large clothes pegs that fit the railings on the boat to hang my stuff.
I have a couple of different ones in addition to the large towel clips that I also use to hang stuff. One was built by my buddy Dan and is a loop of stainless steel leader with shark clips on it that you can hang over the top of a hanger with your wetsuit to dry other stuff (lycra socks, gloves, hood, swimsuit, rash guard, etc.). The other one I stole his shark clip idea, but spaced them out over a span of cave line with a loop at each end and a small carabiner on the end to make an ad hoc clothesline. Pics below.
Haven't tried this on a LOB, but I carry one or two Flexo-Line travel clotheslines on most of my trips. It's 3 strands of braided surgical latex, which means you can "tuck" clothes between the strands while avoiding pinch marks.
