Whilst paging through Youtube I came upon a couple of "Shorts" Both of which were about securing ropes. The first was of professional staff (?) making yachts and a barge secure to bollards and cleats- The lasso was straight-forward over the the bollard but the next two guys technique securing warps to cleats and larger in seconds was amazing. On a further video a guy was tying a tow rope to a vehicle with a knot that looked so good that I wondered how it had not been shown here; the jambing of the knot is similar to a bowline but a quick tug frees the warp easily - perhaps this used when climbing and has a name?The latter "short" is at @davidknots1445 the former I have not found after a quick search.
