Rope - trainee knot examples

Every boat owner needs to know how to perform some important tasks, like docking a boat, tying up a boat, and anchoring a boat. All of these endeavours and many other common boating procedures share one thing in common: they involve handling lines. And just about any time that line handling is involved, knot tying may be too. The most commonly used boating knots are bowline, cleat hitch, clove hitch, half hitch and the figure eight.
