Description
Sailing has undergone radical changes throughout history with the introduction of new technology. One thing that has changed very little over time is the knot. "The Book of Sailing Knots" illustrates and explains over fifty knots that can be used in boating and sailing. Simple line illustrations clearly show how to form a variety of stopper knots, bends, rope ends, loops, and hitches. Equally important, the book explains how to correctly use each knot and for which situation the knot is most useful. In addition, there is a full description of which knots are easy to tie quickly for emergency situations, and which knots work best with natural- or artificial-fiber ropes.
