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.

Share our joy while you watch this video of us sailing Freddie for the FIRST time ever!! We finished fixing and painting the cockpit, got some of the hardware for rigging back on the boat so we could actually use the Genoa (jib) and set sail for the FIRST time on Freddie! Sailing our own sailboat is such an incredible feeling! Have you ever sailed with just a Genoa? Please leave your comments below, like and subscribe to our channel to follow our adventures on Freddie the Tanzer 22! ⛵️
