This knot, the greatest ever known, has been patiently waiting millennia for someone to invent the fender. Finally, perfection has been achieved. So quick and instinctive to tie, with a quick release that leaves you with the fender free in hand, not still looped around the lifeline, rail or stanchion. Thank you!
I realize that stockmen and horse people have known of this magic for a long time, btw, but as a mariner, this is a game changer for me and all the new sailors that I can help out so they know more and tie less!
@@davidlegault9839 any things is possible these days, if the horse is that smart to speed up his owner escape he may replace the dog as mans best friend :)

Couldn't agree more, a game changer for short handed sailors.
All Great videos knot tying. I learnt this knot when I was 10, my favourite, been using it for hitching trained horses.
Yep great for horse as it allows you to quickly until the hitch without having to take the final turn off the object your are fixing the rope too.
Was thinking a smart horse might learn to bite and pull on that end though!

the best knot for fender
Thanks for stopping by and for taking time to leave some feedback. It is definitely one of the best.
I was just looking for some kind of mid-line hitch... this will definitely work!
There are more secure options with out the fast release. This is a great option if you need a quick getaway :)
