[@7thDaughter]

Hiring a narrowboat in Sept and this was just what I need thanks very much :)

[@gdreading9088]

I have tried to watch boaters tying up, but now I see it clearly. nice vlog, thanks

[@carolann3444]

Great - very clear and an excellent knot - will try this on The Black Pig!

[@noelscott9603]

Liked your no nonsense approach. To a serious subject. Great tutorial. Secured mid rope with bowline. Like YOUR mooring hitch. "Does it have technical name?" Kindly Noel. Ps. Had a pint in the "Greyhound " at Hawkesbury, two weeks ago. With a broken boat!

[@matthewwright9259]

This is such a useful and informative vlog. Thanks for showing your knot in such an easy way to understand. It was especially useful that you repeated the knot. I've just been practising!

[@lifeafloat5450]

Great stuff Matthew, thank you! I used to use this knot for a ridgeline for my tarp when out camping, simple and very effective!

[@feliciawalker6029]

Brilliant, simple and looks very effective. Cannot wait to try it out on my new narrowboat Fliss

[@richstudeny]

Very useful information for when I get my boat.

[@lifeafloat5450]

Excellent stuff! Are you getting a boat soon? What type of boat are you hoping for? Tell me all about it! Thanks for watching :-)

[@richstudeny]

@@lifeafloat5450 Yes, hopefully. Looking at buying a 57 ft sailaway, and fitting it out myself. Been a bucket-list thing to do, and I am now in a position to do it. Might even set up a vlog.

This the umpteenth version I've seen of what everyone claims to be the canalman's or boatman's hitch !!

[@rubbberrobbie]

I’ll give that a go. I have one knot fixed in my head but that looks far better 👍

[@lifeafloat5450]

This is really easy and a good reliable knot :-) Thanks for watching!

[@RonHei]

[@lifeafloat5450]

No problem I hope it's of some use to you. Thanks for watching. Take care, Mark

Thank you!!

[@stuartcox2785]

What a great video fella! Would you trust that knot to tie an anchor to your T stud of only to moor up ?

[@puckoonick]

Good one works a treat, what type of ropes are you using ?? They look very supple and easy to tie

[@cackieart]

Nice one

[@lifeafloat5450]

Cheers Mick, thanks for watching!

[@NarrowboatWill]

Yeah that's a good knot. I'm never sure what knot to use.

[@lifeafloat5450]

Use this one! Haha :-) Thanks for watching, Mark

[@philipizzard2584]

Thank you Philip :-)

[@yawningdog9894]

Basic half hitching simple but effective

[@lifeafloat5450]

Indeed! Learnt this from my bushcraft days. Nice reliable knot :-)

[@lewisgardner1660]

Thank young man, is it hot on the boat today?

[@lifeafloat5450]

Hey Lewis, it's BOILING! Got a nice breeze coming through with side hatch and bow doors open though :-) Thanks for watching, Mark.
