Lines are too short and your knots are blocking your cleats. Long tight lines are the best and allow for tide changes.

I shall probably never need to dock my boat with Alistair McGlashan. Good video good tips.

I love these "boat docking instructional videos" where you have 6 times as much dock space as you need, no one around you, and 100 yards of width to work with. I could do this having ingested half a fifth, blind folded, with one arm tied behind my back. My situation is a slip in a Mariana, on the gulf, usually heavy winds, a slip that is literally 6" wider than my boat, and having to come in at a heavy angle. On top of that its a Tritoon, with no keel obviously, totally at the mercy of the wind. Going to make a real docking video.

good skills on the helm, but you completely filled two of your cleats by securing your fenders with three useless half hitches, to the point where you had to edit out moving the forward fender. Having a young kid hold that rope on an outgoing tide is bad news also, although he might have been able to cleat it off better than you haha.

nice video, but please Alistair learn how to tie a cleat correct.
The rope first have to go 270 degrees around the cleat, otherwise the force on the rope try to twist the cleat.

Good boat handling and securing the boat advice. However, needs work on knots. If you don't know the knot, you tie a lot.
