1. we have loop on yacht cleats with the other end no knots, I step off with bow line catch mid pontoon cleat then back for stern line tie that off whilst husband turns off engine then we rearrange the bow line to proper bow cleat tie off then use remaining line as a spring to midship cleat on Wave dancer. So we only use 2 docking lines then on other side of bow a shorter line to keep her steady

2. I doubt he ever gets it wrong

3. Just a comment about the securring of the line to the cleat (which this video is not about, but I will mention it nevertheless). The line should be secured with a lock knot/hitch on the top. Can't see that on this boats lines, maybe its there but I do not see it. But that is important, as they can untie themselves over time if the line is not locked at the end. See fx this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBqsF72xNSU
   on how to do it. Its very simple but should not be overlooked. 
   Thanks to You Tom for your inspiring videos. 
   Met you and saw your lovely 44 Mason in Elsinore harbour, where I live, one time – maybe around 3-4 years ago, had no idea you were a famous writer:-)
   Fair winds and following seas to You and your wife…

4. I like this guy. thanks!

5. thank you tom ! no more eyesplices in docklines ! yippee

6. Thank you, for your patient instruction and enjoyable articulations!

7. I've just completed my Day Skipper so very new to this, we were taught not to step off the boat, but to "lasso" the cleat or bollard, in a similar way to a high sided powerboat , reasoning was, this was much safer than stepping off, anyone got any thoughts on this ?

8. that was very pleasant and I formative. thanks, tom.

9. Stern line: You mention, that the angle is not optimal, but that is, how it is. What about using the cleat on the opposite side of the dock? The line's pull would be much more to port instead of forward.

10. Don’t agree with your comment about most boats kick to port! Every Volvo Penta I’ve ever met kicks Starboard. Better advice and imo essential before mooring a boat is to learn what prop walk the boat has.

11. It's shocking how may boaters don't know, that when a bowline or line with an eye is already on a cleat to pass the next line up and through the eye, so that either line can be slipped first.

12. Great tutorial! Question – are there any experienced skippers out there who would like to captain a sail boat (45'+) to NZ? Genuine question..

13. So good Tom. You are a wonderful teacher. I sailed long, hard and professionally for a decade including 1.7 circumnavigations. But that ended 20 years ago. I just retired and am loving having you remind me of all I have forgotten and, quite frankly several things I never knew.
    Thanks!

14. Very good teacher, how some training companies just teach you to oxo on the cleat on the pontoon then if this is the right way to do it.

15. Hi Tom, You are a brilliant sailor. Why diid you not put on a bow spring. I always do. 5 ropes. 7 for anything over F7. 2 extra bow and stern.

16. Great! Just what I need.

17. Some useful snippets here, thanks Tom.

18. I always put the aft spring on first. Once that line is secured I can easily keep the boat snugged up to the finger peir by turning the helm away from the pier and putting the boat in gear at idle. Then I can secure the bow and stern lines at my leisure. I NEVER tie the bow line off first sine an over zealous crew member can easily pull the bow line too tight and then the stern swings out.

19. Excellent.

20. Thank You,Sir.

21. Tom I need to contact you regarding Mason 44 but don't know how. Pls tell me. Thank you.

22. Let’s see you back your boat in single handed with a strong cross breeze.

23. Great video. Tom certainly knows his stuff!

24. Thanks very helpful 👍

25. Came across this channel and subscribed. Tom has a great manner and a very simplified method of giving excellent advice. I could listen to him reading a telephone directory to me and it would hold my attention.👍
