Tying BASIC BOAT KNOTS how to easy guide

[@macdaddybill]

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

[@stuartosborne6263]

Best knot video ever.

[@doomsdaytaco3819]

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

[@danielboughton3624]

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.

[@briandrake6881]

Love this!!! You are a great teacher.

[@222aint]

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.

[@mwallace2922]

Best knot video ever, thanks for posting. 👍👍🖖🏻🖖🏻🇦🇺

[@CoastalSafety]

Many thanks. Glad you found it useful. What other topics would you like to see?

[@stephanddd]

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.

[@CoastalSafety]

Thanks for the info!

[@Dan_C604]

Very simple and excellent review of main knots and hitches!

[@CoastalSafety]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much !

[@blakebuchanan1420]

This was a great and easy video to follow. Thanks for posting!

[@CoastalSafety]

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 😎

[@steveellis5845]

Best sailing knot tying tutorial on youtube

[@CoastalSafety]

Thank you :,)

[@CoastalSafety]

Good to hear your kind words 😊

[@webdesigner163]

Easy to understand -thanks for taking time

[@CoastalSafety]

You are welcome

[@steveholms4039]

Good. Quick. Simple.

[@CoastalSafety]

Glad it helped - being able to tie a knot, bend or hitch "automatically" without thinking - in the dark - determines a good sailor! Enjoy boating :-)

[@KMURRAY1841]

great demo thank you from new jersey

[@CoastalSafety]

Our pleasure!

[@17twenty]

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!

[@CoastalSafety]

We all live, learn and refresh :-)

[@CoastalSafetyInt]

Great to have appreciation for simple explanation :-)

[@CoastalSafety]

Glad it was helpful!

[@fastasfox]

Please could you tell me what knot you would use to tie off onto a mooring line? Thank you.

[@CoastalSafety]

There are many to choose from - however for beginners and at a simple level a bowline will do the job

[@fastasfox]

@@CoastalSafety Thankyou

[@lamasonam8630]

Thanks for excellent explanation

[@CoastalSafety]

You are most welcome :-)

[@kurtschmidt5746]

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.

[@CoastalSafety]

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.

Great

[@aidgartv]

Excellent explanations

[@CoastalSafety]

Glad you think so! We appreciate your comments 🙏

[@denise2169]

Excellent explanations. Sometimes a little hard to see the whole rope when part disappears out of the frame.

[@CoastalSafety]

Glad you liked it!

[@littlekay3136]

Question.... about the rolling hitch if you want to stop the slide it the right direction you do it the other way around

[@CoastalSafety]

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.

[@bentota]

Good and simple - thanks

[@CoastalSafety]

Thanks

[@Mladenac]

I needed to know some of them when I took a motor boat license exam

[@CoastalSafety]

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 :-)

[@CoastalSafety]

Great to have feedback - thank you

[@denise2169]

Nice video, except that I have seen fenders come off from a simple clove hitch. I teach my students to add two half-hitches.

[@CoastalSafety]

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.

[@nuwandarshana4133]

Good video sir 👍👍

[@basta4485]

Thank's! :)

[@CoastalSafety]

Hoi are most welcome

[@audigex]

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?

[@CoastalSafety]

Yes, make sure that finish with a clove hitch, rather than a larks head

[@855electrician5]

Nice video.

[@CoastalSafety]

Thank you for your kind review. Now its time to practice. Eventually, you will be able to tie the knots with your eyes closed 😎

[@stuartramplin9265]

What's best knott to tie a small boat up with to the shore

[@CoastalSafety]

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.

[@monotremata44]

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.

[@michaelmonte4218]

Are you using a nylon rope in your video sir?

[@CoastalSafety]

We use, polyester, nylon, Dyneema and even cotton. Each materiel has its "strengths" and limitations. Check our website at www.coastalsafety.com

Amazing

[@CoastalSafety]

Many thanks. We also recommend that you learn to tie the knots in the dark.

[@siddikurrohoman-qw5gt]

Thanks YOU Sri MORE

[@PaddleDogC5]

Nice 😊

[@CoastalSafety]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@c-boy1469]

I am very confused 😕 n the second one?

[@CoastalSafety]

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 :-)

[@Tom-xn7zc]

Good video but the only thing missing is you tightening the knots and hitches a lot more

[@imtiyazsaicha4123]

Sir more video make please 🙏

Missed the BOWLINE when the black shirt covered over it- what?!!
