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
It still blows my mind that sailing into the wind even works. It feels like a small miracle every time?!! Sailing upwind is still my least favorite thing we do on the boat lol. Watch how the bow slams into the waves.. now imagine trying to sleep through that & yeah. You pretty much don't. Sailors usually follow the trade winds to avoid going against the wind.. but sometimes you've just got to face it. This was a SEMI fun upwind sail.. and pretty satisfying to see the numbers and watch how well La Vagabonde performs. - Elay xx
