Guide to Choosing an Inflatable PFD | Expert Advice
Awesome video.
So.....Wrap the base of the cleat, thats where the friction is. More wraps, more security, especially with small line on a larger cleat. Minimum half, full for overnight, but two loops around the base is best. The figure-8 is just to finish it off. Wrap twice, twist a loop and lock it. Dress the end.
Thank you for the video (from Denmark) :-)
Can't tie a knot, tie a lot.
Just use a little clorax.
Thanks old to some but NEW TO ME!
lol, I've see thousands of "multiple figure 8" cleats and now know why they are a waste of time!!
I'm knot going to forget these instructions!
Great lesson. It's nice that you showed it is the wraps that hold, not the figure 8 around the horns.
Thank you, this was helpful information!
Exceptional instruction!
Great video, thank you. But where is the link or post that you are discussing at 4:12 ?
Great lesson in footwear for ocean sailing! SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland.
Well the one problem with full cleat hitch is if you start it from the normal side (like in the video and as I understand the only proper side) than you finish it in the “wrong” way away from yourself so you have to sit down and pull it against your foot to finish it off 😢😢😢
I figured it out that after the full wrap is made that you can go around one additional horn so that way you change the direction of the pull to yourself 🤪
In addition to drying away from sunlight and UV rays, you should also mention to not use your regular thin hanger for hanging it up. You should get a wetsuit specific hanger that has broader shoulders and will prevent too much stretching, or drape it over something at the waist.
Excellent video and presentation! Thank you!
Very informative video. I now know ‘wetting out’ is the reason for feeling sticky inside my suit (preventing breathability) and how to re-waterproof properly.

Good afternoon and thank you for this informative video. I have a question about how these work. I have 2 - 17' x 4' metal frames with 8 solar panels each. The frames are set on poles so I can turn them from East to West all day every hour. As far as just keeping the wind from turning them I need to know if I used just 1 section of rope attached to each side of the frames would these cleats keep the rope held in place or is this a one direction type of thing? I would really appreciate an answer if you have the time. Thank you!
If I understand that is is one loop of line with each end secured to either end of the swiveling frame, you could use two cam cleats to adjust the swivel and securely cleat it in place. Yes. Cam cleats hold on only one direction.
One of the few videos where the full/European cleat hitch is even acknowledged and even explain why/when you should use it as well as the even less discussed multi -pas- wrap
That second "full wrap" cleat hitch can lock up under high load where you "close the wrap" and make it a royal PIA to get it undone. Yes, it's more secure, yes it jams the line, no I won't ever use it on my boat.
I get your thinking, but…. Actually the loaded wrap gets pulled deeper and the second wrap stays more to the top on a traditional horn cleat such that the more load the less the two lines bind.
Good good
Can we see you secure a 4” poly hawser to an H bitt or 3” nylon dock line to a deck bollard? That should be interesting.
Sorry, but I prefer a wrap, a hitch and finish with several wraps around the base of the cleat. You can finish with a figure 8 if you like. Wrapping the cleat before you tie a hitch may not allow you to free the line after it has been stressed. Wrapping after to apply the hitches will secure the vessel and allow you to free the line when you’re ready to. They’re a back up.
Thanks for sharing this.
Your explanation of the cleat to rope size, is awesome. Had never heard that before…Thank you! 🛟
Fantastic video. I'd love to save this to my rigging/boating playlist, but it's not eligible for saving - I wonder why though
No idea. It should be
I didn’t tie my boat to the dock correctly and it floated away when I went for the truck. I think I wound up on boneheaded boaters of the week.
Teach people to sat bollard correctly!
None of these cleat hitches will work unless you say "that's not going anywhere" and give it a lil pat
Whether I do a half or full wrap, I always do one more flip at the end. There is always room on the cleat and it makes me feel better.
Great information, thank yoi
If you can’t tie a knot, tie a lot.
Good stuff!
Typical - the American way is to half-ass it and bet on favorable circumstances. Thanks for the video :)
Ehh just tie an alpine butterfly and place it over the cleat
Interesting! In 33 years of sailing from dingy to tallship, I han’t used any of those and I didn’t even realise there were more ways to do this, let alone being names for various knots! Mine doesn’t go round the base, it always is two figures of eight, clockwise on the top, and a half hitch on the third pass. It has never failed me. (Funny I had to recall on motor memory to write this down) 😅
Whoever cleated the last boat I took out needs to watch this. I will say that the knot held well, a bit difficult on the removal though.
Excellent video!!!!
Great info sir.
Your kidding right? A half coming undone. The bitter end slipping through? Give me a break! And lazy! My Mainship 34mk1 9 tons full wrap overlaps with the bitter end spun around the bottom so no one trips on it. Where do you guys come from😢
Comprehensive and clear.
literally perfect video.
When you can do it from 10 feet away .. you got it
So who and what says that is correct. Personally I've been doing it for over 20 years and I don't do any of those and I've never had an issue
Excellent video, sailing all my life, never even thought of the smaller lines, just used extra figure of eights! Lesson learned!!!! Thanks!
Great video! Just what I need for my 14’ boat!
Thanks for posting this! I’ve got a pair of booties that got stinky and I haven’t been able to get them smelling right. FYI, If you include an affiliate link with which to buy the deodorizer, I could use it and help you profit off your video.
I learned to tie all my knots in the dark - really helpful when you have to do it under pressure. But these methods are so much simpler than the rabbit hole and method 3 is an absolute game changer (I know one skipper who only has bowlines on the dock).
Wow! So glad I viewed this vid. Been sailing since 1986, never new this! Thanks APS!!
