- On this episode of Royal Navy Yachtmaster, Captain David demonstrates how to properly tie on and adjust fenders on your boat. Fenders are important because they push the hull of your boat away from any object that might scratch it and you want ensure you have them secured prior to docking. Clove hitch and round turn and two half hitches are the best knots to use for tying on fenders because they keep the fenders secure.
Aside from protecting your boat, fenders make a huge impact on your boats' overall appearance. They also act as an indication to other boaters that you know what you are doing. When the fenders are not properly secured, hanging at different lengths, dragging in the water, brown and disgusting, this is not a good look.

This video along with a couple of others just saved me $20.00 from buying plastic fast fender hangers. I knew there were knots for this but just thought it would be faster for my wife while on the bow in the ocean to just clip on the bumper I've added to the other 4. It's a larger ball so it's heavier than the G4 bumpers. This knot is too simple to justify buying plastic things! My wife is pretty good with lines so all is good. Thank you for sharing.
Just got my first boat in the water three weeks ago. Very instructional video. Nice job. Keep it up!
Thank you Jon and congratulations on your new boat…. Please subscribe to my channel you’ll see lots of instructional videos how to coil a rope some basic navigation using your chart plotter and on Wednesday will be publishing a new one on how to maneuver using twin engines

Awesome, thank you!
Excellent!
Spend crazy money for r boats the. Drag fenders like after thought. Thank you!
Exactly! Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I noticed the valves where at the top. The valve should be at the bottom. If the fender is squeezed hard and the valve fails, it might shoot out like a projectile. You don't want it to hit anyone.
Great thought thank you . 30 years doing this... never heard that one and never popped a fender ... but always willing to learn something new 👍
Tying off the top of a stanchion or lifeline, that is the best way to pull your stanchion bases off the deck. Thousands of dollars in damages within a few seasons.
Only if you are rubbish at docking. If you are good, like me, you ll be fine 👍
@@royalnavyyachtmaster So, while at a dock you can cancel the wake of a passing vessel that would send your vessel rocking up and down, squeezing your fenders and pulling on your lifelines/stanchions?
That is magical power mate.
I think people leave them most of the time cause they can't retie them. Other 50% they just forget they are there because they never remove them and don't know how to tie lol
i would keep fenders all the time
It won't be considered good seamanship
@@arnehayn4354 Yes, people will make comments if you are bouncing thru the bar with bumpers flying around. I think it is just lazy to not want to at least pull them over the side. I forgot one forward bumper and realized it only when it flew up and bounced against my cabin window. If that window had broken, I'd still be yelling about it.
HEY DUDE, IT'S LINE NOT ROPE.
Oh…. Yeah…. Sorry I was thinking of when I was fo’c’sle officer on HMS Boxer tying up in 30 knots on the Isle of Skye and the bow-line snapped and the XO yelled “get another line out asap”
The next line didn’t have an eye in it and the seaman didn’t know how to tie. Bowline so jumped in and tied one in the end (bitter) of the “ROPE” !
My bad. You got me.
I will never understand why are we talking about boat appearance . That should be the very last concern anybody have about a boat
Ok
