Making a cleat hitch for docking

Post by Big Block Power »

Many of us tie up our boats I'm sure differently. I do allot of criss cross over under stuff. But when you get good at this and it takes some time to learn. But it works awesome.

That's how I do it. And I do not like any variations to this. GF thinks I'm kinda nuts about how i like all the lines are tied off.
