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.


Yep... of course then I'm not sure the point of the clove hitch part. A
round turn is easier to untie in a hurry (though barely).
