The Stevedore's knot is a powerful stopper knot, like a super-charged Figure of Eight knot. 🔸 Make an overhand loop like you would in the figure-of-eight. Bring the working end round a couple of times instead of one (or just twist the loop) and tuck it through the original loop. Tighten Voilà ! Easy! And even stronger than the Figure-of-Eight on video 2, although that is quicker to tie (just) if you are in a rush. 🔸 🔸 🔸 #sailing #multihulls #catamarans #knots #ropes #learnknots #learntosail #katschool #knot #rope #lovesailing #sailinglife #katamarans #stopperknot #katknots
Quick funny little bit from just before I jumped into the water. These couple of Bull Sharks were great to swim with later. I just had fun dunking the camera into the water and watching them swim crazy fast after it. Now normally sharks in the Bahamas and elsewhere in the world don't behave like this. Usually they are much more skittish. But I was at a known shark feeding site called "Tiger Beach". As well, they were only attracted to small items that could be food being thrown overboard.
