Knots
Knots are useful in docking, towing and other emergency situations.
Learning to tie knots requires practice. As they say “ Practice makes
perfect”. Some of the knots used in boating are the square, bowline,
anchor bend, clove hitch,
fi
gure eight and half hitch. There are several
periodicals available that explain various knots and how to tie them
effectively. An experienced skipper will know the basic nautical knots
and will use them when on the water. Take the time to know the basic
knots.
A useful knot to learn for general docking is the
fi
gure eight with one
end reversed. By turning the free end of the line back under, the knot
can be released without disturbing the boat. After some practice one
person can secure a vessel easily to a dock or pier in a variety of weather
conditions. This knot normally is used to tie the bow and stern. Then
the vessel can further be fastened by tying the spring line in the
fi
gure
eight knot. Wrap it around the cleat 2 or 3 times.
