Whenever we get dolphins at the bow when we are sailing it’s as if it’s the first time ever. This never will get old.

There's nothing quite like the sunrise watch when doing a multi-day passage.

The Alpine butterfly knot, also known as lineman's loop, butterfly loop, butterfly knot and lineman's rider, is a knot used to form a fixed loop in the middle of a rope. There are multiple ways to tie the Alpine Butterfly knot, in today's video we will teach you the wrap method where we form the knot by creating three loop around you hand to form the base of the knot. It can be tied without access to either end of the rope, this is a distinct advantage when working with long sheets or halyards. The Alpine butterfly knot is an excellent mid-line rigging knot, it handles multi-directional loading well and has a symmetrical shape that makes it easy to inspect. The Alpine Butter fly knot is great for creating temporary purchase systems which can help secure items with additional holding power. Making it great for tying down dinghies, spars, sails or just about anything you can loop your rope around. The Alpine Butterfly knot will tighten on itself making a secure loop or purchase system, it can be easily undo even after heavy load is applied making it a great temporary solution when a loop is needed. The team at bottom up boats hoped you enjoyed this Know Knots shorts video demonstration where we should you how to tie an Alpine Butterfly Knot. If you have a suggestion for other must know knots you would like a short for drop us a comment at the bottom of the video and we will give it a go. #bottomupboats

► Full test in Special Issue N°24 Forever Green: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/trimaran/modx-70-a-revolution-in-recreational-boating ► Winner of Multihull of the Year in the Multiyacht category, the ModX 70 was definitely the multihull not to be missed at La Grande-Motte. This new 100% renewable-energy cruising catamaran has already proven its technological prowess by completing a circumnavigation of Spain without using any fossil fuels. The ModX 70 is equipped with the latest technology, enabling it to operate without a generator on board. To achieve this feat without jeopardizing safety, the MODX 70 designers decided to launch a catamaran large enough to support a very powerful battery bank (230 kWh in fact!) while increasing the potential area of the solar panels - it stretches to 750 square feet (70 m²). The two motors are capable of a 100-mile range. The fully automated rig is perhaps the most amazing feature as the two retractable carbon masts - one on each hull - each support a 1,345 sq ft (125 m²) inflatable wing that can reach 75 feet (23 meters) in height. The build involved using 38% biosourced epoxy resin, 40% recycled PET foam, flax fiber and cork. One last point to highlight: This catamaran of the future is nothing like an uncomfortable prototype—quite the opposite, in fact. The layout is as comfortable as it is well finished. The ModX 70 is an undeniable success that will be remembered in the history of yachting—well done! ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Ocean Développement Architect: VPLP Length: 70’ (21.33 m) Beam: 32’10” (10 m) Draft: 6’7” (2 m) Air draft: 15’1”/75’6” (4.6/23 m) Displacement: 50,700 lbs (23 t) Upwind sail area: 2 x 1,345 sq ft (2 x 125 m²) Drivetrain: 2 x 40 kW Water: 317 US gal (1,200 l) + recovery system www.modx-catamarans.com ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!
