Join us as we sell most of our stuff, quit our jobs, and live on a sailboat. My name is Nic Morganti. I had an idea. I wanted to live on a sailboat and explore the Caribbean. I convinced my girlfriend Melissa to come aboard. This is "The Boat Life" a video series about the adventure of taking a chance, moving onto a sailboat and heading for the Caribbean. If YouTube isn't enough for you.

This knot is called a round turn and two half hitches. And the round turn of two half hitches is a fantastic knot for tying on fenders. This is a short lesson from our Catamaran sailing Masterclass knot tying lesson. http://masterclass.nautilussailing.com It's also a great knot for tying your dinghy up to a piling. So here are the steps to do a round turn and two half hitches. You go all the way around your stanchion or the dock post, leave quite a bit of tail. So there's our round turn we like to go over and you come back through that triangle, tighten it up, and the second time we come under. And then back over and that tightens it up. And that's a clean looking round turn, two half hitches. And you can see how that is a real strong, solid knot that's gonna hold your fenders or your dinghy to a dock.
