Longer version at katamarans.com/bowline-on-a-bight/ 🔸 The Bowline on the Bight is a double-loop variation of the bowline. Tie it in the centre of a line when you need a loop and you can't easily get to either end. 🔸 It makes a good hoist if you have to lower or raise someone, with one loop the seat and the other under the armpits and around the chest. The loops should not slip and it shouldn't jam after strain. 🔸 With a doubled up rope, make a small overhand loop as you would in a Bowline. Thread the end of the bight up through the loop. 🔸 Open the end of the doubled rope and bring it down and around as shown and tighten. 🔸 🔸 🔸 #sailing #multihulls #catamarans #knots #ropes #learnknots #learntosail #katschool #knot #rope #lovesailing #sailinglife #katamarans #bowlineonthebight

Highlights of Vis Stiniva Cove – Frequently ranked among the most beautiful beaches in Europe, this narrow bay with dramatic cliffs is accessible mainly by boat. Blue Cave (Modra špilja) – Located on the nearby island of Biševo, the cave glows with ethereal blue light at midday. A short detour worth every second. Komiža and Vis Town – These two picturesque towns on opposite sides of the island offer cozy harbors, charming stone streets, and a relaxed island vibe. Local Cuisine – Try traditional dishes like peka or grilled fish, and don’t miss Vis’ famous wines, especially the white Vugava and red Plavac Mali. Why Sail with Alitis Yachting?
