#katknots 🥨 Rolling Hitch. We haven't done any knots for a while, and we think this one is an essential one to have in your locker. This knot hitches a new line to an existing line (or chain). ▫️ You can use it to take the load off a jammed winch (normally the jib or Code 0 sheet). Or it comes in handy for making an adjustable bridle, if the swell and wind are coming from different directions. ▫️ Tie the first half hitch in the direction of the load (eg towards the sail or anchor). Then go round the standing end, come over again and tuck through the gap. The trick is to keep wrapping in the same direction, towards the load. ▫️ You should be able to see a dog leg or link in the original line and be able to slide the knot forward towards the load. It shouldn't budge pulling in the opposite direction. ▫️ You can tie this with one less wrap or "roll", it will depend on what size your lines are and what type of material the rope is made out of. Test and practice it before you need it. ▫️ What is your favourite knot? ▫️ ▫️ #knots #learnknots #ropes #learntheropes #sailingtips #learntosail #sailing #knot #hitch #rollinghitch #sailinginstagram #sailinglife #rope #lovesailing #katamarans

Guarda il video completo 👇 https://youtu.be/mu2xgppG9rI Transat Jacques Vabre 2023 - All'alba di una Route du Cafè particolarmente intensa, abbiamo fatto due chiacchiere con Andrea Fornaro a bordo di Influence 2. Mancavano -2 giorni alla partenza della 16ª Transat Jacques Vabre, cambiata improvvisamente di programma a partire dalla sera prima, con un secondo e radicale cambiamento la mattina della partenza stessa, causa un fronte atlantico pronto a portare la tempesta del secolo. I Class40, così come gli Ocean Fifty, dirigeranno su Lorient per una prima tappa sprint, unica soluzione per anticipare e riparare da un meteo che diventa sempre più inclemente.
