I really wouldn't recommend securing anything with a clove hitch for more than a few minutes; there's an indeterminable amount of slip before the knot grips and if like at my club you're on moving water with swell from passing vessels then the knot will easily wriggle itself loose and you'll lose your boat! We've never had to buy a fender as we just pick up all the ones washed downriver from people who tie them on with clove hitches. Even get a few life rings the same way too!
I really enjoyed this tutorial to the point that I decided to sub to your channel. You're a gifted teacher and do a good job providing instruction. Absolutely great job and very well done. I'll even let it slide that you're Canadian......j/k!
Man thank you for the easy and very effective knot tying lessons. I needed to learn a good boat tie off knot for this weekend and now I'm set. Great fun video.

My understanding of a sheet bend is that the ends should both come out the same side. Will have to get Ashley's book of knots out to check.

Never use a clove hitch to tie a horse. A quick release only , please.

Thanks! I'll add a quick release version of the clove hitch to my video on Hitches later this year.

The only constructive comment I can offer is to use a contrasting color for the working lines for visual clarity, other than that great video. cheers
