In one situation, we used the RT w/2 hitches. We made sure the knot was
secure after the fact by easing out one dockline and hauling in on the other
until we were near the piling, put the tail through the original turn (like
an anchor hitch) then doing the same thing for the other side. When we
wanted to leave, we reversed the procedure, except that we unwrapped the 2
hitches and most of the RT. As soon as the bow section was clear of the
pilings, we let the rest go.

Well, I'd imagine you'd want something that will tighten,
so perhaps a round
turn and 2 1/2 hitches. The issue would be easing it.


Not a good knot, unless you do something with the tail to
prevent loosening.
