After what feels like weeks of waiting, we are finally putting some miles under the keel again. We're on our way to Guna Yala (the San Blas islands), sailing upwind along the North coast of Panama. We haven't done a great deal of upwind sailing on this voyage so far, but that's about to change - Antigua is 1000 miles directly upwind, and the Caribbean trade winds are strong, squally, and often bring big seas. Today is good practice for us, beating into a relatively comfortable 15 - 18 knots with moderate seas, 2 reefs in, 5 - 6 kn boat speed, and ironing out all sorts of little issues that come up.

Watch the full how to video via the link below. https://youtu.be/O-QzPup-ZNw Rope ends will eventually fray even if they were cut with a hot knife or if you burnt the end of the rope. The best way to ensure the tails of your rope stay neat and tidy is to whip the ends. If you want to take your finish to the next level then take the time too added a loop to the end of the rope. In addition to stopping the end of the rope from fraying it gives your halyards the added benefit of having a built in mousing loop that allows you to easier replacing or remove your halyards for the winter with a mousing line. Make sure you stay around to the end of the video to see how this works The team at bottom up boat hope you liked this whipping demonstration if you want to give it a go yourself pick up the tools of the trade from the links below.
