Docking Situation Question #8
 

A rolling hitch is primarily used for relieving the strain from another
line. If that's her preference, she doesn't know much about knots.

Correct. It is no fun to have the tide swing bind up

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

It is worth mentioning that cleating off to the side
opposite the dock gives more length to the stern
line and allows for greater variation of tide.
