Great video, as Usual!!! The fender knot you were looking for the word in English is: Clove Hitch. Also, for a more secure one, you can also use a: Round turn and two half hitches...
Very useful, thank you. The only problem is when throwing a lasso to the dock it is hard to swing the loop enough when standing at the lifeline. But, I will practice!
I think using that clove hitch (fender knot as you call it) with a quick release is alright when you're just about to dock just in case you need to quickly move the fenders for whatever reason, but once the boat has been docked there's really no need to be able to quick release those fenders and that variation on the clove hitch is a bit useless. Of course you might be in a crowded place and need to quickly move a fender or 2 when someone else is coming crashing into you, so I can justify using it on a fender or maybe even 2, but honestly, I agree with you. There's no point. What you could do if you really really wanted to tie it that way is to make the bight a bit smaller and to put in either some sort of stick or an extra line in there so if the quick release does come loose, it will get caught blocking the bight from going through the knot - almost like a safety pin to stop the knot from releasing. You could also just tie another half hitch (Safety knot as you call it) with the bitter end to reduce the chance of someone pulling on the release. Either option should stop the knot coming undone. You could also do both and the knot would be just as secure as a regular clove hitch, but for the amount of work it takes you to do either method, you might as well just use the regular knot (or a round turn and 2 half hitches), put your feet up and enjoy your drink without worrying about losing any fenders. Great video, Igor!
Great video. Iearned a lot. Thanks. BTW, your English is amazing but you might want to practise saying "cleat", making sure you lengthen that vowel sound (like "eeeee"). As in this video, it means something VERY different!
Igor has the highest quality sailing content out there.. Thanks for the video!
Thanks 🙏

Thanks 🙏🙌🍻👍
All the "rope" exercises remind me of the sailing school.. and an important lesson - when throwing a "laso", attach one end of the line :P
Same as dropping anchor…hold one end 😃🙌
I haven't seen anyone go into this amount of detail of real sailing keep it up Igor
🙏🙌🍻👍
It's nice to know how. It's also good to show in detal. But I really like, when you also tell why!! Great job, thanks!
Thanks 🙏
I saw all ur videos, I'll buy a trimaran now.U r the best!
🙌🍻👍
need a Capt Stropnik t-shirt with pics of all those knots printed on it !
🙌🍻

That makes sense 👍. Thanks 🙏
Very useful. Could you please go around the Med in the summer and teach people?
🙏🙌🍻
Thanks you so much for sharing

@@IgorStropnik Perfect. Hope you understand why it's important! Thanks again for the great content.
Funny how every respectable skipper on youtube does is differently
Excellent.
Thanks 🙏
The name of the fender knot is called a ´Cat´s claw´. Because of the way it looks. Now you know...
Thanks 🙏
Does anyone know what size fender this is? Maybe A-3?
🔥
Great tips. And then after one they throw it at the head 🛳 Thanks!
Thanks 🙏
