As a regular feature we've asked Andy Barnes, Chief Instructor at Academy Sailing, to produce a series of short videos explaining and demonstating basic skills included in the RYA Competent Crew syllabus.
This short video clip demonstrates the `clove hitch', which is most commonly used to secure fenders to a guard rail on the boat. Andy covers how to do this as well as a tip on what to avoid.
