The Alpine butterfly knot, also known as lineman's loop, butterfly loop, butterfly knot and lineman's rider, is a knot used to form a fixed loop in the middle of a rope. There are multiple ways to tie the Alpine Butterfly knot, in today's video we will teach you the wrap method where we form the knot by creating three loop around you hand to form the base of the knot. It can be tied without access to either end of the rope, this is a distinct advantage when working with long sheets or halyards.

Ragazzi che giornate.. il bello di avere lavori grossi a bordo è quando tutto inizia a dipanarsi. Come quando hai una matassa di filo ingarbugliato in mano e pian pianino inizi a fare ordine. All’inizio ti demoralizzi, vorresti lasciare tutto lì com’è. Poi pensi a cosa servirà quel filo e porti la tua pazienza a un livello superiore. Oggi siamo arrivati al punto in cui resta solo un piccolo nodo. Domani, infatti, collauderemo la filtrazione dell’acqua di mare per renderla acqua potabile. Ancora sembra strano pensare di non dover più dipendere da acqua dolce a terra, ma avere il mare come risorsa idrica potabile. È inevitabile fare riflessioni quando si fanno questi lavori. Almeno a noi vengono proprio naturali! Domani vi faremo sapere se avremo magicamente trasformato le prime gocce d’acqua salata in acqua dolce senza pronunciare alcuna formula magica ma premendo un bottone!
