Think you’ve found the perfect multihull? Think again! 🚤 Osmosis in wooden or balsa cores can silently destroy your boat from the inside out. Choose foam core for longevity and peace of mind—it's water-resistant, durable, and built to last. Don’t let hidden damage sink your dreams! Ask about the core before you buy. ⚓️🚤 #multihullsailing #McConaghyBoats #Nautitechcatamarans #NEELTrimarans #cruisinglife #shorts

Bowline. Pinch and Twist (Mariner's) method. #katknots ▫️ More knots at kats.co/kts or click our profile link and head to the footer links. ▫️ This is a great quick way of tying a bowline. You can even do this one handed. ▫️ Before you start, just take a minute to see how the line is arranged. Then do it the same every time. In this example, the standing end and working end are running away from you. Say if you were on the dock tying up your tender. ▫️ The working (loose end) is on my right and I lay it over the standing end. Then I pinch the join with my right hand and twist clockwise and do a thumbs up 👍🏽 so the rope end pops up through the loop you have made. Practise this a few times. ▫️ Then finish off as usual, round the tree, back down the hole. Easy! Make sure the working end lies on the inside of the loop (come around the tree right to left in this example). That's the pinch and twist bowline, practise it and you'll be able to do it with your eyes shut. 😴 ▫️ #sailing #sailinglife #knots #sailingknots #ropes #bestknots #knot #rope #youtubeknots #katamarans #bowline #learnknots #learntosail

For Peter Burling and Blair Tuke (NZL), the Medal Race is a victory lap, the Kiwis having won the 49er Men's gold medal with two races to spare after dominating the 20-boat fleet at Rio 2016 over the past week. However, they always go all out to win, so don't be surprised to see New Zealand winning the race today. Behind them the battle rages on for the other medals, with Erik Heil and Thomas Ploessel (GER) holding second place just three points in front of the Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen (AUS). This means the 2012 Olympic Champions need to get at least one boat between them and the Germans to secure silver. However, the Germans and Aussies can't afford to engage in a pure match race because waiting to ruin the party are Dylan Fletcher and Alain Sign (GBR) who lie ten points behind Australia.
