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

CLUB MARINE TV YouTube Channel https://youtu.be/5BSgCX75dHk On a summer’s day when Sydney Harbour showed off its emerald waters at their sparkling best, a small but competitive fleet of four yachts engaged in an intense arm wrestle that lasted little more than an hour for the annual SOLAS Big Boat Challenge. In a battle of cut and thrust between the two super maxis at the front of the race it was Peter Harburg’s Black Jack that eventually won out, crossing the line some 43 seconds ahead of her near twin, the Oatley family’s Wild Oats XI. Wild Oats XI’s little sister Wild Oats X took out the overall handicap win, but it was Gavin Brady the sailing master of the fourth yacht in the fleet, Karl Kowk’s Botin 80 Beau Geste, that captured the essence of this event and just why it is more than a one-off spectacle, ‘There’s nowhere else in the world you will ever see a group of maxis like this sailing in a confined environment. Racing in Sydney Harbour puts a lot of pressure on a team and I believe it’s a big contributor to success in the Hobart.’ The Bow Caddy media team took to the water and the air to paint a picture of the energy, action and pressure of this remarkable event that Brady persuasively alludes to.
