HOW TO TIE A BOAT TO THE DOCK with NO CLEATS - How to a tie line to a piling
Being able to tie up to any dock under multiple scenarios is an excellent skill to keep in your back pocket! In this video we cover how to tie your dock lines around pilings for both long term and short term mooring. We cover several knots to tie around the post including the round turn, clove hitch and half hitches. We then explain how we prefer to set up our bow lines, stern lines and spring lines depending on the wind, tides and current!

I will start by saying I always enjoy your channel. I am learning to become some kind of fisherman, but have a long way to go. Some feedback on your knots. First, I’m not sure I would ever use a clove hitch on a square pylon. Round turn and two HH is probably your best choice. Cleat hitch’s are one of those knots where you ask 10 sailors and you will get 23 different answers. I always say the right way is how he captain wants it done. Every captain is different. My feedback on the cleat hitch is taking a full turn around all horns will set yourself up for the line to lock down on itself if it is ever put under any strong load. I always teach to go around the furthest horn first and back up around the second horn and then one figure eight with a locking turn. The locking turn will allow the lines to lay parallel under the top line and secure your hitch. I never use a locking turn on an anchor line. I always take as many figure eights as you can fit on the cleat for your ground tackle. A locking hitch will prevent you from being able to release the line in a hurry if there were a dangerous situation and the vessel were pitching and yawing.

I'd avoid tying off around that metal bracket on the piling though, high potential for snagging or cutting strands of your line. They don't look nearly as beautiful when its coiled up with snags hanging out everywhere ;)

Good tips ladies, on the last technique though you've created a bit of a trip hazard if anyone tries to get on or off the boat between those two pilings. I would probably have gone around the forward piling the opposite direction making a 270 degree loop around the piling, back to the stern piling and done the same before dropping the free end of the line through the hawse and tying it off to the cleat. That way the suspended rope is on the _BOAT_ side of the pilings and not the dockside.

Congrats on getting a sponsor! The half-hitch is what I learned as a kid for tying down light airplanes. Very good knot. I was a little confused why you used the spring line to pull all the slack out of the stern line after saying you need slack to account for changing tides. Or is that only if you have another boat right behind you?

I tie up to pilings all the time for an hour. Another option is to go around the piling and back to the boat and cleat it off on the boat. Then you can free yourself from the boat. I also put 4 or 5 wraps on the piling before a clove Hitch. I've had the hitch tighten up and it was difficult to release.

@oxcart19 3 жыл бұрын

Would you mind showing your boat tied at the dock at high tide (for instance) and then what it looks like still tied there at low tide, just so we can see how much vertical travel is involved and how much of the slack in the line is taken up when the boat drops or rises with the tide? I do not live in an area that has tides, and I would like to see how great the change is between high and low tides. It didn't look like there was very much slack in your lines off the bow and stern, so I'm thinking there isn't much difference in vertical travel with the tide change, maybe 6 inches or so? Also, you are doing a great job with your channel and I enjoy all your videos :)

@eddieatter1018 2 жыл бұрын

This varies greatly depending on your location. Where I sail, 1ft is about the average. In extreme latitudes, it can be over 40ft between high and low tide.

Lay put, I had a 100’ long anchor line someone gave me for a 20’ center console boat. I anchor in creeks and would never need or want that much line. I needed a long stern line for the dock where I keep it so I cut 40’ for that and still have plenty for the anchor. Just a thought if your long line is overkill. Make it work for you.

Not a fan of tying off long term on a piling, round or square. Only time I will is using a dock piling bridle with rollers. Simple method for the bridle is cutting a 1.5 or 2 inch inch PVC pipe into 2 & 3 inch inch sections, threading the dock line thought them, then splicing back into the dock line. At the end of the tag end, splice in a 4 inch stainless ring. The Bridle stays on the piling, the boat is moored to the stainless ring. Vertical tide can sometimes be too much for the rope direct to wood to compensate, or the rope getting caught in a splinter preventing vertical movement.
