I'm a firm believer that you only need to know two knots - bowline and hitches.

They'll sort almost anything!

Another useful knot is the Apline Butterfly, borrowed from the climbing world, basically as useful as a bowline when you haven't got an end available.

Just learnt this one as I am now climbing. It is a useful one if you can't do a trucker hitch!!

I've been using the alpine butterfly to tie the boat down at the club. Haven't seen it tied like that though. Very good .
