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. 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.

I bought a timber boat with no clue about boats, this i my first boat, a 40ft converted fishing boat. It needs a lot of love and repairs and I will try to figure out how to do most of it myself, youtube, other boaties, friends and family will help along the way turning this old mould boat into a floating home!
