Tying up? Here are a few tips to consider:
1. Plan your approach—consider wind direction and currents.
2. Always start by tossing a spring line to someone on the dock.
3. Secure a line from the bow cleat to a dock cleat forward of the boat.
4. Secure the spring line to a dock cleat angled aft.
5. Attach a line from the stern cleat on the side of the boat away from the dock to a dock cleat behind the boat.

The infamous Knysna Heads. A treat to the eyes, Knysna heads is the magnetic amalgamation of two sea cliffs in huge natural sandstone towers that guard the Knysna lagoon against the roaring sea. There are two heads- East and West.

The eastern head offers a spectacular view of the Lagoon, Leisure Island and the entire Knysna. The western head is a privately owned resort accessible only by ferry.

Let's go sailing and see it up close.
