Graham — it depends a bit on your boat’s setup; but basically you want the backlines to start and end about six feet from the ends of the boat, so you don’t get dragged behind the boat if you go over. On my boat, the previous owner put a padeye on the foredeck aft of the bow a ways; I use one continuous length of webbing, running it through a locking carabiner attached to that bow padeye. The aft ends go to other padeyes mounted forward of the transom on either side deck. These get tied off under some tension. Other boats use cleats aft.
