Regal 3300 Owner's Manual page 155

In the event your vessel is in distress, prior to allowing any towing
company or private agency the right to pass a line to your vessel,
be sure to establish that you do not agree to any salvage rights.
Establish with the captain or operator that you wish to be assisted
in a contract basis and establish a price.
Of course in certain situations, you may not have this option.
Use your best judgement!
Knots
Knots are useful in docking, towing and other emergency situations.
Learning to tie knots requires practice. As they say " Practice makes
perfect". Some of the knots used in boating are the square, bowline,
anchor bend, clove hitch, figure eight and half hitch. There are several
periodicals available that explain various knots and how to tie them
effectively. An experienced skipper will know the basic nautical knots
and will use them when on the water. Take the time to know the basic
knots.
A useful knot to learn for general docking is the figure eight with one
end reversed. By turning the free end of the line back under, the knot
can be released without disturbing the boat. After some practice one
person can secure a vessel easily to a dock or pier in a variety of weather
conditions. This knot normally is used to tie the bow and stern. Then
the vessel can further be fastened by tying the spring line in the figure
eight knot. Wrap it around the cleat 2 or 3 times.
