| Mooring hitch
|
Use: In order to secure the boat to a dock or secure a line to the boat you will probably use the cleat hitch.
How to tie:
- Take the line to the ear of the cleat furthest from where the line comes from the boat (or load).
- Take one wrap around the base of the cleat and then start a figure eight across the top of the opposite ear.
- Finish with a half hitch turned under so that the line is coming away from the cleat in the opposite direction from which it came in.
