Ever fancied running away to sea? 🌊⛵️ Hi! I’m Georgie, a deckhand on the Götheborg of Sweden, and I’ll be taking over the socials this month to share a little about the history, culture and skillset that makes the Götheborg what it is. Sailing on this ship and helping maintain her has been a dream come true for me since 2022 and I am so excited to share a little of life behind the scenes on this beautiful ship 💙💛 #gotheborgofsweden #gothenburg #tallship #sailing #sailor #sweden #europe #ships

The knot commonly used to tie a fender onto the side of a boat to protect it from other boats and docks is called a "round turn and two half hitches." It is a simple and effective knot that provides a secure attachment for the fender. 👉Follow us for more tips about being a confident sailing cruiser! Here's how you tie a fender knot: 1. Start by passing the line's working end (rope) around a secure point on the boat, such as a cleat or railing. 2. Take the line's working end and make a loop around the standing part (the part of the line connected to the fender). 3. Pass the line's working end through the loop you just created. 4. Bring the line's working end around and make another loop around the standing part, similar to the first loop. 5. Pass the working end of the line through the second loop. 6. Tighten the knot by simultaneously pulling on the working end and the standing part. This knot will create a secure attachment for the fender, allowing it to protect the boat's side from impacts with other boats or docks. You can adjust the fender's height and position for optimal protection according to your specific docking situation.
