TowBoatUS Capt. Jimmy Reynolds of TowBoatUS Bayshore, New York, shows off his tugboat hitch knot to tie up at his dock. The tugboat hitch is also known as a Lighterman's hitch or a backhanded mooring hitch. It's often used for heavy towing as it can easily be released, even under a great load. It's also useful for tying up or making fast to bollard, post, or winch. 🚩Enjoy this video?

Sue shows the water diverting fittings and the washboard tracks, now changed to a composite material from the original teak wood. While the teak looked nice and gave a very custom look, they required oiling to keep looking their best. In an effort to reduce maintenance, Vision created a mold and they are now composite. The water diverting tracks now also have a keyhole groove in them to which the canvas bottoms slide. The wood was pretty, but we weren't looking forward to oiling them! Want more?
