OXO and OXXO - How do you tie up your boat ?

In this video, we dive into OXO: should you cross the line once (OXO) or twice (OXXO) and should you be adding a locking hitch? We demonstrate both techniques and discuss when and why you might use each - depending on your rope type, conditions, and personal preference. We also take a look at how different ropes behave, including traditional 3-strand and modern slippery braided lines, and whether adding that extra X actually helps or hinders. Whether you're a seasoned sailor, motorboater, or just getting into boating, this is a simple technique that makes all the difference when mooring up. Get it right - and your cleat will hold strong. #MooringTips #CleatHitch #BoatHandling #SailingTips #Motorboating #DockingMadeEasy #SailingLife #BoatingBasics #NauticalKnowHow #StressFreeSailing #oxo
