The 52 Super Series is the world’s leading grand prix monohull circuit and a new season gets underway in Menorca. With a record fleet and new boats and sailors this five-event circuit will be gripping. Staying in the Mediterranean we travel to Marseille for the Hempel World Cup Series finale to see who will be stepping onto the podium across 10 Olympic classes. There’s also high drama on Lake Geneva at the Bol d’Or Mirabaud as a storm rips across the course. And The World Sailing Show takes a rare trip underwater in the Seychelles to explore the depths with Nekton Mission which is looking at global environmental data capture. And the million dollar boat race hits New York as SailGP reaches the halfway stage in the battle for sailing’s biggest cash prize.
The knot commonly used to tie a fender onto the side of a boat to protect it from other boats and docks is called a "round turn and two half hitches." It is a simple and effective knot that provides a secure attachment for the fender. 👉Follow us for more tips about being a confident sailing cruiser! Here's how you tie a fender knot: 1. Start by passing the line's working end (rope) around a secure point on the boat, such as a cleat or railing. 2. Take the line's working end and make a loop around the standing part (the part of the line connected to the fender). 3. Pass the line's working end through the loop you just created. 4. Bring the line's working end around and make another loop around the standing part, similar to the first loop. 5. Pass the working end of the line through the second loop. 6. Tighten the knot by simultaneously pulling on the working end and the standing part. This knot will create a secure attachment for the fender, allowing it to protect the boat's side from impacts with other boats or docks. You can adjust the fender's height and position for optimal protection according to your specific docking situation.
