Default Docking Situation Question #8
wrote:

What is your knot preference for making a dock line off to a piling?

What should be a concern when so moored.

Clove hitch, finished with a half hitch.

Why? because it's the fastest to tie: just make a reverse larks head,
put one loop over the other, and drop it over the piling. Add a half
hitch to keep it secure.

Docklines with eyesplices are even faster but I don't carry them.
