Oggi ci svegliamo con il desiderio di scendere a terra, fare una camminata. Ma il meteo non è troppo d’accordo. Se in barca non vuoi vivere brutte sorprese, è meglio imparare a rimetterti alle sue decisioni. Di certo un esercizio perfetto per chi è solito esercitare controllo su ciò che lo circonda! Quindi senza forzare le cose, decidiamo di fare un bagno. Ragazzi che acqua calda, uno splendore. Peccato che le temperature così calde siano causa di stagione di intense attività di uragani. Quest’anno pare sia destinato ad assistere a qualcosa di forte. Ed ecco perché il 5 giugno molliamo gli ormeggi. Oggi abbiamo scelto di pulire le murate. Perchè? Perché vedere Julia di nuovo così splendente ci ha dato una gratificazione incredibile. E oggi, la nostra domenica, nonostante un meteo non dei migliori, ha avuto modo ugualmente di essere un giorno che ci ha riempito gli occhi e il cuore. Andrea

The Double Over Hand Knot is a variation on the Over Hand knot that creates a larger stopper by adding and additional loop in the main part of the knot. The larger stopper of the Double Over Hand Knot is useful for thinner lines which may slip through the cleat, pulley or eye that the rope is running through. For a full tutorial follow the link below. https://youtu.be/JJcNIHOLJVg Learning how to tie a double over hand knot only takes seconds, most sailors have most likely tied one even if they don't know what it is called. Another advantage the double over hand not has over the single is that it is more secure prior to any load being applied to it. This results in less chance of the double hand knot coming undo. The double loop of the knot also makes it easier to untie after load has been applied. The team has at bottom up boats has loads of knot video tutorials, watch to the playlist below to learn more. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMoCfFBA9IMUcOoZy5QT-o66DM8uHukkH If you want to know even more knots why not pick up a copy of the definitive book on knots. The Ashley Book of Knot has approximately 3900 different kinds, from simple hitches to “Marlinspike Seamanship.” Mr. Ashley has included almost everything there is to know about them. Precisely named and classified (some new ones for the first time officially), they can be easily found in the big index. He tells when they appeared, something about their history, and what they are good for. . https://amzn.to/3fkisle We hope you enjoyed todays video, thanks for stopping by and supporting Bottom up Boats, as an amazon associate we get commission from associated sales.

Toni and I had the opportunity to check out the first Seawind 1370 in the United States. We did not think twice and headed up to Sail Away Catamarans to enjoy a demonstration sail on Damsel Fly. The 1370 is only 4 feet longer than the 1260, but it is a very different boat. There were things we liked and things we did not, so like every other boat known to mankind, it comes down to compromises. Like all Seawinds, she sailed very nicely in the low winds.
