Winter sailing is something else. Out at sea, the darkness of the Arctic winter opens up a whole new world. The days glow like endless sunrises and sunsets, and at night the northern lights steal the show. From the deck of a sailboat, you are right in the middle of it all. Film by Carl Filip Olsson
The Zeppelin Bend. 🔸 More knots at 'kats.co/kts' 🔸 I think different colour ropes are really handy for seeing what's going on. Once you get this one down, it's really easy to remember and it's great for tying two ropes together. 🔸 You can also use a sheet bend (different sizes) or a double sheet bend (covered in a separate post). The Zeppelin is the strongest though, IMO, and it doesn't jam under load. 🔸 This knot was used to anchor airships down. You can just tell by the look of it that it's really strong. 🔸 Plus, it's got a great name: The Zeppelin Bend, or Zepper: it's the rock star of knots! 🔸 🔸 🔸 #knots #sailing #ropes #learntosail #knot #rope #learnknots #katamarans #katschool #zeppelinbend #learnhowtosail #howtotieknots #boatknots #bestknots
