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.
Wait a sec - an Epic, that's designed for fishing? You bet. This is a bay boat that comes with all the prerequisite features, like a livewell, aft jump seats that fold into a casting deck, rod holders, and more. Sure, this builder is known for building watersports and wakeboarding boats - not fishing machines. But since it's an Epic, it has a few unusual characteristics you don't usually see on boats designed for the hook-set. Check out the video, and if you want more information, then visit Epic. Don't forget to watch on boats.com, too, because we'll have an in-depth review of this boat coming soon. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/11/epic-22-sc-first-look-video/ For more boat videos, visit www.boats.com.
