Why Knot?
Boaters have traditionally secured their boats at docks using various docking cleats to which they fastened ropes with a milieu of knots. The effectiveness of this system has been highly variable depending on the knowledge and skill of the boat owners and that of their spouses and friends.Traditional Knots
Frequently, boats are difficult to disengage from the dock or they become set adrift. These problems are accentuated in high traffic areas such as marine refueling, restaurant and shopping areas and other locales where boats need to be secured and unsecured rapidly or frequently.The Clever Cleat
