The construction of the SW96#06 is proceeding at pace with all bulkheads now installed. She was demolded last week, and the SW team are preparing for the first dry fit of the deck. This time next year, she will be touching the water for the first time, watch this space for further updates.
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.
