HOW TO TIE A BOAT TO THE DOCK with NO CLEATS - How to a tie line to a piling
Being able to tie up to any dock under multiple scenarios is an excellent skill to keep in your back pocket! In this video we cover how to tie your dock lines around pilings for both long term and short term mooring. We cover several knots to tie around the post including the round turn, clove hitch and half hitches. We then explain how we prefer to set up our bow lines, stern lines and spring lines depending on the wind, tides and current!

NOBODY ON TH-cam SHOWS THIS STUFF SO THAT PEOPLE CAN LEARN FROM YOU TWINS, YOU'RE KILLING IT

“It’s the same knot you learned to tie your friendship bracelets with.
Me and a bunch of old fishermen: “......”
Hahaha.
In my day, we gave our girlfriends ID bracelets but they were metal links and the ends clicked together. It gave them something to give back to us (or throw) when we broke up! LOL.
Congratulations on getting a sponsor. As your subscription numbers go up you’ll get lots more. They may end up bidding to be featured on your show. Just something to dream about. Take care.
Kona adds an entirely new dimension to your already excellent videos! Can't wait to see how she interacts with the freshly caught fish and crabs? Super video, thank you.
Your explanations of what you are doing and why are super detailed and very helpful. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Its dope watching people in their element. Great vid ladies.
This was a great video. I’m almost 30 years older than you both, but you taught me something on this one. Thank you both for making videos that teach people good ways of doing things and teaching in a way to where anyone can understand it.
I love seeing Konas ears as she lays on the floor of the boat.
Amanda, Emily this video is very important to those people that just tie up Nilly Willy and with shoe string rope ,you come to your boat and find their boat just banging onto your boat , always carry at least two tie ropes ..😆 #AFANALWAYS Rock Port, TX
Been following you guys from the beginning. I'm so proud of you and FOR you! Keep up the great work!
I was never formally taught how to do this and always basically winged a half wrap. This was an incredibly easy to follow video and can’t wait to show my buddies!
this helps a lot especially because i’m a dockhand at a marina
hi jack
Great show! I appreciate all your videos. I bought my first boat and I've been rehabbing it for the past year. Now it's time to launch it and your videos are packed with solid information on driving, fishing etc... . Good luck with your growing small business. Your business is a wonderful one!
Thank you very much! CONGRATS on the new boat and getting it all set up to launch, thats a big accomplishment!
Making your lines neat after you secure your boat is called a Flemish Flake also known as a Spiral Coil... Shows classiness toward your boat instead of a pile of “rope “ all tangled up... as always-a great video...!!!
It also prevents passers by from tripping over a messy pile of dock lines. That could get ugly.
Well done. Always a good idea to stop for a moment, observe the conditions, think about how your boat is going to respond to those conditions and tie up accordingly. BTY- Kona looks very comfortable on the boat!
Hi love watching ur videos have a Blessed day stay safe
Thanks for the knowledge! Great video ladies! Kona stole the show though😊.
If I had the money I would buy you a new boat! You girls deserve it@
Funny cause I was thinking the same thing as I saw a Sea Force Center Console ad while watching TH-cam and I was wondering if they would like it.
@@godbouty They will probably (or hopefully) get a sponsor to buy them a boat soon.
I'll take that Intrepid!
10:52 Look at that good dog patiently waiting in the shade for some loving!
Very educational and presented clearly !😊😊😊😊
Thanks really helped me learn how to tie the correct knots
OUTSTANDING!!! Thank you soooo much!!!
Great video. I needed this. Keep up the educational videos!!
Thank you for sharing . Always learn Something !
Welcome to you TH-cam Kona, you're star and don't even know! Great job as always ladies, simple and clear dock line instruction. I'd avoid tying off around that metal bracket on the piling though, high potential for snagging or cutting strands of your line. They don't look nearly as beautiful when its coiled up with snags hanging out everywhere ;)
Great job once again!
Great video girls ! Keep them coming !
I will start by saying I always enjoy your channel. I am learning to become some kind of fisherman, but have a long way to go.
Some feedback on your knots. First, I’m not sure I would ever use a clove hitch on a square pylon. Round turn and two HH is probably your best choice. Cleat hitch’s are one of those knots where you ask 10 sailors and you will get 23 different answers. I always say the right way is how he captain wants it done. Every captain is different. My feedback on the cleat hitch is taking a full turn around all horns will set yourself up for the line to lock down on itself if it is ever put under any strong load. I always teach to go around the furthest horn first and back up around the second horn and then one figure eight with a locking turn. The locking turn will allow the lines to lay parallel under the top line and secure your hitch. I never use a locking turn on an anchor line. I always take as many figure eights as you can fit on the cleat for your ground tackle. A locking hitch will prevent you from being able to release the line in a hurry if there were a dangerous situation and the vessel were pitching and yawing.
This is a very useful video and I bet my dad saw this before I did
Been loving u gals is how to vids.. thx so much
Very very important to know. Great tutorial girls! ThnkU
We are glad it was helpful!!
I have soooo many memories their at that park!
Great Video Gale Force!!
Having a sponsor is nifty, only thing I'd say is only stand behind what you use and find as a good value. Stay safe out there ladies.
Greetings from Costa Rica.🏖 I enjoy watching you channel. I sail and blue water fish, the Pacific side of Costa Rica.
great video. As a Fire fighter lol two half hitch's are a clove hitch. Keep up the good work love the videos
I love you Amanda and Emily Gale.
Great info 👍🏾
Bahia Honda SP marina! I stayed in that exact spot for a week with my boat. Great place !!
I love and appreciate all your videos great info I wish you guys were in New jersey I'd hire you for some instruction
Brilliant
That's a great boat
Congrats on getting a sponsor! The half-hitch is what I learned as a kid for tying down light airplanes. Very good knot. I was a little confused why you used the spring line to pull all the slack out of the stern line after saying you need slack to account for changing tides. Or is that only if you have another boat right behind you?
Great knots....how do you get by with no bumpers beside that dock and your boat?
Thanks 🙏 thanks
I laughed so hard, Its the same knot you tied your friendship bracelets with.
🤷🏽♂️
Great video girls yous always give the best information 🐳⚓🙏❤️🐬👍😎
Thx ;)
Good tips ladies, on the last technique though you've created a bit of a trip hazard if anyone tries to get on or off the boat between those two pilings. I would probably have gone around the forward piling the opposite direction making a 270 degree loop around the piling, back to the stern piling and done the same before dropping the free end of the line through the hawse and tying it off to the cleat. That way the suspended rope is on the _BOAT_ side of the pilings and not the dockside.
Dock knots would make a good band name...
Hey ladies, have you done a video on in port storm preparations home and away from home. Say, if you were cruising?
Congrats on getting Kona by the way.
The amount of people in Miami that need to watch this.....
Bien!
I tie up to pilings all the time for an hour. Another option is to go around the piling and back to the boat and cleat it off on the boat. Then you can free yourself from the boat.
I also put 4 or 5 wraps on the piling before a clove Hitch. I've had the hitch tighten up and it was difficult to release.
Enjoy all your vids from Texas. I understand what you’re doing with the knots but is there a reason that you’re not using a bowline knot? Thanks.
Why would anyone give "thumbs down" to an instructional opportunity?
Kona! 🐕🐾💕😎🍸
When my boat was new I was in a RV park on the water got it all tied off with spring lines and long bow and stern lines and it was great for any tide. Then I realized I tied off to a floating dock. 😳
😆
We need a good required USCG Safety gear video ladies.
I have my golf cleats. Does that count? LOL J/K Great job girls!
Can you do a knot tying video for docking? Thanks
If your doesn't have a loop tie one using a boline knot it will not slip and can always be untied
THANKS ALL
I always use spliced eyes on dock and I control lines on my boat.
So, tying long bow and stern lines allows for tide changes. Does a tight spring line mess that up? Thanks.
Lines can stretch a little so if u have long lines u will have enough flexibility in your lines, so even if the hightide makes ur boat 2ft higher u will have enough stretch from ur long lines
How often you do an oil change on those Motors????
On any 4 stroke it’s 100 hrs on my etec no oil changes 2 stroke oil injection JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐠🐟🎣🛥🌴⛱🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Would you mind showing your boat tied at the dock at high tide (for instance) and then what it looks like still tied there at low tide, just so we can see how much vertical travel is involved and how much of the slack in the line is taken up when the boat drops or rises with the tide? I do not live in an area that has tides, and I would like to see how great the change is between high and low tides. It didn't look like there was very much slack in your lines off the bow and stern, so I'm thinking there isn't much difference in vertical travel with the tide change, maybe 6 inches or so? Also, you are doing a great job with your channel and I enjoy all your videos :)
This varies greatly depending on your location. Where I sail, 1ft is about the average. In extreme latitudes, it can be over 40ft between high and low tide.
In most parts of florida it is between 2 to 3 feet
Not a fan of tying off long term on a piling, round or square. Only time I will is using a dock piling bridle with rollers. Simple method for the bridle is cutting a 1.5 or 2 inch inch PVC pipe into 2 & 3 inch inch sections, threading the dock line thought them, then splicing back into the dock line. At the end of the tag end, splice in a 4 inch stainless ring. The Bridle stays on the piling, the boat is moored to the stainless ring. Vertical tide can sometimes be too much for the rope direct to wood to compensate, or the rope getting caught in a splinter preventing vertical movement.
How to tie if you have a very long rope and you just need to use the portion nearest the object? It's like a situation where you can't find the other of the rope because it's very long. What is the useful knot to use?
Look into a bowline knot!
Lay put, I had a 100’ long anchor line someone gave me for a 20’ center console boat. I anchor in creeks and would never need or want that much line. I needed a long stern line for the dock where I keep it so I cut 40’ for that and still have plenty for the anchor. Just a thought if your long line is overkill. Make it work for you.
How come you guys didnt use a fender gaurd /buoy in between the boat and the wood?
Came here to ask the exact same question
what marina is that?
Do you not use fenders and just rely on the rub rail instead?
Not for short term docking when the pilings are wood but if they were concrete or we were going to be there awhile we would definitely take out the fenders!
@@GaleForceTwins thanks, I wasn't sure! You two rock!
Emily 😍😍😍😍
What if you are tied up to a spot that has High and very Low tides?
When are you going to shoot a new intro to include a Kona cameo? Manny F.
Can you put your TikTok link on your youtube videos
Coiling the end of the line is called flemishing, you don't see it much anymore.
If you secure the clive hitch with two half hitches, it would be easier to stick with round turn and two half hitches.
One of the best things about knowing lots of knots and hitches is being able to show them off. Why use only a half hitch when you can throw down a clove hitch first? 😀😀
They are starting to look a little thick there. Looking like real fisherman now.
Now do a Baltimore knot
First
So what are we gona do about all the fish dying in the sea? The twins never fishing no more ?? :O :O
No bumpers huh?
Wasn’t necessary on these pilings!
Loop over Loop plus half hitch - one move- Done....
You lost me at friendship bracelets. Never tied one of those. 😕
Why do they call it a spring line?
Piling is more than one pile.
2 half hitches will hold your horse, 3 half hitches will hold the devil.
If you can’t tie a knot… tie a lot !!
That “complete circle” you put on your inboard cleat will cause the line to lock up under tension. Never put a complete circle around a cleat.
cleats ?? cleats ?? we don't want no cleats... WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN CLEATS !
I'm so lost. I need schooling
So the bow line is to keep the boat from moving to the "right"? Oh I love all this tech/nautical talk. So I guess "right" would be something like I should say when I mean "moving to the STARBOARD.
Your boat is way way too close to the dock once the tide changes he can do some damage you got to give it a little bit of slack....not good way to Tie off
Tides?
Square pilings are terrible chafe machines. Avoid them whenever you can. They can very quickly destroy your docklines.
DOG IN THE BOAT, HELL NO~!
You guys don't fish no more
Wrong - no - everything you did was wrong - sorry -
