Anybody using these?
Anybody care to laugh at the very idea of them?

I don't like being laughed at. Clove hitches rule.



I don't typically use clove hitches for fender lines. Any up/down motion
with a fender against a dock will loosen them. A cow hitch might be better,
but it could still come undone fairly easily, as KLC says (and the 1/2 hitch
would add security). Why not use just an RT with two half-hitches? More
secure, tightens under load?


Add a half hitch or two.
