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.

Calling all cruisers near Carriacou and the Grenadines that can bring food, supplies, and even offer a bed. The island will need clean up crew, help clearing the roads, and support on all levels. They might need water so our boat water makers can help. Right now they don’t need cash…they need physical support. If you can get to Carriacou to help, it will make such a difference. #hurricane #hurricaneberyl #carriacou #suppport #sailingcruiser
