I have been tying this hitch for some time, but do not know its name! I have been calling it my coaming hitch, because I use it mainly for securing the bitter end for tying loads on trucks, etc. It holds to a round anchor, as shown, far better than a clove hitch. In any case I don't often use a clove hitch for sailing, usually preferring the assurance of a bowline, halyard hitch or double figure-eight, etc.
