Good explanation and useful knots. I tie my bowline using a slip knot once someone taught me how to do that. Much easier to remember than the rabbit/snake bit. Make a loose slip knot where you want the knot to be and then run the free end through the slip loop and bring it tight as if you were going to undo the slip knot. It pulls the loose end through and you have a bowline.
thank you so much for a clear, concise demonstration of these knots. I finally understand the bowline, which appeared as magic when I first saw it and you have shown how the magic is done.
I have autism and unfortunately have difficulty with communication and learning/understanding things at times, but this was really well explained and i understood perfectly. thank you for this
Very nicely demonstrated, thank you. FYI when you demonstrated the rolling hitch, the static picture on the left was actually a midshipman's hitch, tied with the standing end away from you.
Yep, these videos help new and refreshers alike - I try to put as many lessons from many years at sea in to these videos to help the younger generation :-)
What you showed as the Rolling Hitch is, I think, the Rolling Hitch (the Boy Scouts screwed the names Rolling and Tautline up for us back in the 60s, I think). It is entirely appropriate for a tying 'round a rigid spar, and you've shown. The diagram to the left, however, is the Midshipman's Hitch, which is the preferred way to tie it 'round another rope. (Aha. Stephanddd already made this observation.) Today's line is sufficiently stretchy that neither of these is as reliable as they once were, sadly.
The world of knots is indeed vast and complicated. Different countries and indeed different organisations have different names. The important point, is does it do the job :-). Many thanks for taking the time to comment - much appreciated.
In that case, you would put the first 2 turns to the right. Ie The 1st 2 turns are placed in the direction that you want to reduce the sliding. Good Question! 1 Your question will help other people who also wondered the same.
Exactly, the clove hitch is used in its simple form- until the vessel is alongside and "all fast". Then as part of the "tidying up" locking turns are added to secure the fenders.
Depending on the situation, however, round turn and 2. half hitches is good and secure. Also has the advantage of being able to be adjusted when under load.
For the round turn and two half hitches, am I right in saying the two half hitches are effectively a clove hitch? Or is it a different configuration that results?
Nice and clear. But your 'rolling hitch' is basically a taut-line hitch, which is not all that secure. Better to pinch the first turn with the second crossing over it.... much more grip that way.

Thank you ! our daughter just got a boat and we wanted some basic knots to tie down at the dock.

Love this!!! You are a great teacher.
Best knot video ever, thanks for posting. 👍👍🖖🏻🖖🏻🇦🇺
Many thanks. Glad you found it useful. What other topics would you like to see?
Very simple and excellent review of main knots and hitches!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much !

Thanks for the info!
This was a great and easy video to follow. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for your kind review. Find a piece of rope and practice. Eventually, you will be able to tie the knots with your eyes closed 😎
Best sailing knot tying tutorial on youtube
Thank you :,)
Good to hear your kind words 😊
Best knot video ever.
great demo thank you from new jersey
Our pleasure!
Easy to understand -thanks for taking time
You are welcome
Thanks for excellent explanation
You are most welcome :-)
Good. Quick. Simple.
Glad it helped - being able to tie a knot, bend or hitch "automatically" without thinking - in the dark - determines a good sailor! Enjoy boating :-)
Excellent explanations
Glad you think so! We appreciate your comments 🙏
Great to have appreciation for simple explanation :-)
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!
Thanks for the visit
Good video sir 👍👍
Ela, bhime stuthi mcn
Thank's! :)
Hoi are most welcome
Please could you tell me what knot you would use to tie off onto a mooring line? Thank you.
There are many to choose from - however for beginners and at a simple level a bowline will do the job
@@CoastalSafety Thankyou
Good and simple - thanks
Thanks
Thanks soo much for sharing
You are so welcome - thank you for the nice comment :-) Please share with your friends :-)
Took me a bit to get the bowline but all makes sense - it was just me being in Sunday mode...scary to think i've got a DaySkipper!
We all live, learn and refresh :-)
Nice video.
Thank you for your kind review. Now its time to practice. Eventually, you will be able to tie the knots with your eyes closed 😎
Thanks sir. Very easy to understand🙏
Always welcome - keep watching - we love your feedback :-)
Always looking for your requests and suggestions
I needed to know some of them when I took a motor boat license exam
Yep, these videos help new and refreshers alike - I try to put as many lessons from many years at sea in to these videos to help the younger generation :-)
Great to have feedback - thank you
Excellent explanations. Sometimes a little hard to see the whole rope when part disappears out of the frame.
Glad you liked it!

Amazing
Many thanks. We also recommend that you learn to tie the knots in the dark.
Question.... about the rolling hitch if you want to stop the slide it the right direction you do it the other way around
In that case, you would put the first 2 turns to the right. Ie The 1st 2 turns are placed in the direction that you want to reduce the sliding. Good Question! 1 Your question will help other people who also wondered the same.
Very useful
Thanks - very welcome
Like and shared 😎😎😎
:-)
Nice video, except that I have seen fenders come off from a simple clove hitch. I teach my students to add two half-hitches.
Exactly, the clove hitch is used in its simple form- until the vessel is alongside and "all fast". Then as part of the "tidying up" locking turns are added to secure the fenders.
What's best knott to tie a small boat up with to the shore
Depending on the situation, however, round turn and 2. half hitches is good and secure. Also has the advantage of being able to be adjusted when under load.
4:28 What's the difference between knot and hitch? (21st November 2024)
Nice 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Are you using a nylon rope in your video sir?
We use, polyester, nylon, Dyneema and even cotton. Each materiel has its "strengths" and limitations. Check our website at www.coastalsafety.com
I am very confused 😕 n the second one?
Just get a length of thin rope (about 2m) and try to follow the examples - try playing the video in slow motion - that may help :-)
For the round turn and two half hitches, am I right in saying the two half hitches are effectively a clove hitch? Or is it a different configuration that results?
Yes, make sure that finish with a clove hitch, rather than a larks head
Thanks YOU Sri MORE
Sir more video make please 🙏
Nice and clear. But your 'rolling hitch' is basically a taut-line hitch, which is not all that secure. Better to pinch the first turn with the second crossing over it.... much more grip that way.
Good video but the only thing missing is you tightening the knots and hitches a lot more

Missed the BOWLINE when the black shirt covered over it- what?!!
Oh - sorry .... let's make another, maybe, various methods to tie bowline 😎
@@CoastalSafety yes please 🙏🏽and thank you
🇱🇰🤩🤩
