Anchor Hitch finished on a Bight

The Anchor Hitch is a super secure fender knot which tightens on itself when load is applied. It is really simple to tie, all you need is two round turns. One over the top of the item you are securing your fender to and the second one on top of the first.
The Anchor hitch will become really tight making it hard to undo after load has been applied, making it a great option if you are away for a long time and what you fenders to be in same place when you return.
Adding the bight when you finish the anchor hitch makes it a lot easier to undo. The additional width of rope used it finish with the bight is easy pulled out via the tail of the rope.
The Anchor Hitch finished on a bight is a great fender knot which will secure your fenders making sure they are there when you return to you boat.
