Finally! A little weekend getaway… ✨ Or well, more like a full-on work weekend on Vela. We packed our biggest IKEA bag and moved aboard for a few days to get as much done as possible. The to-do list is still long, but waking up on the boat again makes all the hard work worth it! We tackled cleaning, polishing, anti fouling, engine maintenance, and a bunch of small fixes. And of course, Anker made sure to keep morale high with his morning yoga. Not exactly a relaxing getaway, but definitely our kind of weekend! ⛵

How to tie a Double sheet bend. #katknots. ▫️ The double sheet bend joins two ropes of different thicknesses well especially if they are wet. Also known as the double flag bend. Make sure both working ends are on the same side when completed. It's stronger that way. ▫️ Form a bight (loop) with the thicker rope. Keep the end up top. ▫️ Thread the thinner line through the loop as shown and then round behind the thicker rope. ▫️ Pass the working end of the thinner line round the neck of your loop. Then tuck the thinner line back under itself twice. It's quicker but not as strong. ▫️ An example of when you might use this knot: attaching a heaving line to a mooring line so it's easier to throw ashore. ▫️ #multihulls #sailing #catamarans #sailinglife #knots #sailingknots #ropes #bestknots #multihull #knot #boats #yachts #catamaran #rope #instaknots #seamanship #sheetbend #katamarans #flagbend #doublesheetbend
