We are back everybody! After a short hiatus (Jordan's Ankle has been healing and Desiree has been in the Caribbean working as a freelance stewardess on a 154ft yacht previously called Ohana) we are back to work with full steam ahead! On the To Do List this week is painting the deck lockers and the bulwarks! http://www.Facebook.com/TheProjectAtticus http://www.projectatticus.com
How to tie the Anchor hitch. ▫️ Also known as an Anchor Bend although that's a bit of a misnomer. This can be used to fasten a line to an Anchor, a warp to an Anchor chain or to tie your tender off onto a ring at the dock. Careful, it can jam, but it should be fine under moderate loads. ▫️ It's similar to a round turn and 2 half hitches except you tuck the working line through the loop of the turns giving you more friction and a stronger hold. Finish it off with a half hitch. ▫️ Add an extra turn at the beginning if you like. Why not? In fact this will make the knot less susceptible to jamming. ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #hitch #hitches #anchorhitch #multihulls #thehitcher #sailing #catamarans #sailinglife #knots #sailingknots #ropes #bestknots #multihull #knot #boats #yachts #catamaran #rope #instaknots #seamanship #katamarans
