The slipped clove hitch is a useful modification on the standard clove hitch by finish the knot with the a bight in the working end you build a quick release into the not which makes it the perfect knot for securing your fenders to your boats rail. Follow the link below for a full demo. https://youtu.be/NZaBMuOhgWw The clove hitch Along with the bowline and the sheet bend, it is often considered one of the most important knots to know. A clove hitch is two successive half-hitches around an object. It is most effectively used as a crossing knot. It can be used as a binding knot, but is not particularly secure in that role (we prefer the constrictor knot for these use cases). A clove hitch made around the rope's own standing part is known as either two half-hitches or buntline hitch, depending on whether the turns of the clove hitch progress away from or towards the hitched object. The slipped clove hitch is one of the easiest fender knots to untie we would only recommend these for short stays or when you a remaining on the boat while docked. If you will be leaving your boat for an extended period of time the Round Turn with two Half Hitches another option to consider.
