Horn cleat
n nautical contexts, a cleat is a device for securing a rope.[2]
Types of cleat designs include the following:

A line tied to a horn cleat [1] on a dock. The line comes from a boat off the top of the picture, around the right horn, around the left horn, across the cleat from top left to bottom right, around the right horn, and then hitches around the left horn. Note that this line is tied improperly; the line from the boat should initially run to the far (left) side of the horn cleat rather than close (right) side.

mooring
A mooring refers to any permanent structure to which a vessel may be secured. Examples include quays, wharfs, jetties, piers, anchor buoys, and mooring buoys. A ship is secured to a mooring to forestall free movement of the ship on the water. An anchor mooring fixes a vessel’s position relative to a point on the bottom of a waterway without connecting the vessel to shore. As a verb, mooring refers to the act of attaching a vessel to a mooring.[1]

The key to docking or mooring is slowing down at a controlled rate before you get there.
The key to docking or mooring is slowing down at a controlled rate before you get there. You slow down by luffing the sails (see Chapter 5) and letting
the boat glide to a stop. The trick is knowing when to start luffing so that you keep enough steerageway to reach the dock without having so much speed that the phrase “ramming speed” becomes applicable.

Walk the mooring line back along the windward side to shoot the boat forward
Have the crew holding the mooring line walk with it toward the stern —on the windward side, so that the line doesn’t get caught under the boat. As your crew moves back, your boat is pulled forward, especially on a
