The Cleat Hitch: How to tie up your boat to the dock

[@nevillecottee7629]

The Sargent was very polite for not totally condemning that hitch. Professionals are taught to never put a hitch on a cleat. If it’s needed, it will jam beyond your ability to undo it. He politely explained that a round turn is sufficiently secure. See “coastguard boating education”

[@willmoss1720]

This not the proper way to cleat a hitch. Not sure where you and a professional got your info., should be embarrassed. Watch videos of half and full hitch knots. Europe prefers full, US is a mix of both.

You and that lady were on the Missouri hunters Ed and boating Ed videos

[@parkerreese1315]

Wait are you the guy from wiscsonsin four wheeler boating and all the other saftey courses?

[@UntamedScience]

You bet. We actually made those videos for the state in the times we're not working on this channel.

[@parkerreese1315]

[@lucafelipe2347]

@Keanu Allan you are welcome :)

[@shaneroper477]

You turned the locking hitch towards the incoming line. Wrong. You turn away so it lays parallel too the previous horn turn.

[@SirenaWF1]

Always did that and never knew what it was called.

[@In_Case_Im_Fake]

i wish you could see the thumbs down on this video. absolute largest pile of trash ive ever seen. totally wrong! for anyone looking to tie a proper cleat hitch LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!!!

[@ro4317]

One of the worst I've seen yet. "If you want to look like you know what you're talking about---". What a quote to end the video. This totally wrong.

[@JohnGreen_US]

Hahaa, you are right - there's room to "argue about the "proper" way" to tie a cleat hitch. While your method of tying to a cleat has worked for you over decades, that's not the way it's taught by marine instructors - Sgt. Dirth was pretty kind. Way too many fig-8s, only need one locking half-hitch - after a couple f-8s they don't add to hitch strength, they just form a cleat pyramid. Nice Flemish Flake demo. Some use a Chain-Sinnet for the excess bitter-ends.
