How to Tie a Cleat Hitch
February 10, 2014
4 steps to remember how to tie a cleat hitch:
- Take the line to the ear of the cleat furthest from where the line comes from
- Take one wrap around the base of the cleat
- Start a figure 8 across the top of the opposite ear
- Finish with a half hitch turned under so that line is coming away from the cleat in the opposite direction from which it came in
