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.

I’m solo sailing from Orange Beach to Key West this October, then buddy boating with Key West John all the way to Georgetown, Exumas. It’s my first time making it that far… and it’s bittersweet. 💔 We’re talking prep, routing, and pushing forward after loss. 🎙️ Watch full episode here: https://tinyurl.com/SaltyPodcastBonusKWJ #SaltyAbandon #SaltyPodcast #SaltyScotty #SailingToBahamas #Exumas

🚨 Whale sharks! This is not a drill! 🚨 A Whale Shark is one of the rarest marine encounters you can experience on the Great Barrier Reef. It was a real treat for everyone on board Silversonic yesterday when they encountered this beauty 400m off Turtle Bay. Some of our lucky crew managed to get into the water to capture some amazing footage of this magestic behemoth. 🎥: Shane 'Sharky' Down/ Silversonic Cruises
