Fenderstek
The Fenderstek is a boatman's knot for attaching the fenders to the railing .
Knot
Lay a bay in the fender line and pull it against the railing.
Create a second bay with the part from which the fender hangs and push it through the first.
To loosen, pull on the loose part.
advantage
The advantage over its alternatives, the loom loop (on slip) or the round turn with two half-loops, is that it is easy to loosen. This is possible with a wet and cold (Low German: clammy ) hand with a short pull. The stek falls from the railing, the fender hangs on the hand and can be taken on board.
