OXO Method for Tying a Line to a Cleat #shorts
⛵The OXO method is a simple and effective way to tie a line onto a boat cleat and is often used by boaters to secure their boats in place. Here are the steps to follow:
Begin by taking the end of the line and making a small loop, with the standing part of the line on the bottom and the working end on the top.
Bring the line’s working end down and around the base of the cleat, making an “O” shape.
Next, bring the line’s working end back up and over the top of the loop, creating an “X” shape.
Then, bring the line’s working end down and around the base of the cleat again, creating a second “O” shape.
Finally, bring the line’s working end back up and over the top of the loop again, creating a second “X” shape.
To finish, snug up the line by pulling on the standing part of the line and making a few half hitches around one of the horns of the cleat to keep the line securely in place.
The result should be a secure and reliable knot that will keep your boat safely moored to the cleat. It is important to remember always to double-check your knots and make sure they are secure before leaving your boat unattended.

#1240797 I inspire couples and families through adventure and freedom to become sailing cruisers. In 2013, my wife and 3 1/2-year-old daughter purchased the largest boat we could and sailed over 45,000 miles through the Mediterranean, crossing the Atlantic, all over the Caribbean, and along America's east coast. My wife and daughter are taking a break from sailing so our daughter can go to school. In the meantime, I'm teaching couples and families how to live the sailing life!
