Reefing lines are important on a sailboat because they enable us to reef down the main sail (reduce sail area) when in strong winds. We had accidentally crossed two of our reefing lines when we rerouted them to make place for our new staysail halyard. This faux pas meant Adam couldn't reef our main sail when he needed. Although conditions were fine at the time, we're lucky he caught this now and we avoided a serious situation that could have occurred because of this mistake.

#katknots The Clove Hitch versus the ? Ground-Line Hitch. Which is your favourite? Both are great for tying fenders to guardrails, the Ground-line is a little more secure, but there's not much in it. ? For both, wind the rope around the rail and cross over diagonally. There is a slight difference where you tuck the working end between the hitches. ? Both knots are easy when you get the hang of them. You can make a bight (loop) in the working end before the very last tuck for a quick release version. ? Head to https://kats.co/kts for more knot videos. ? #sailing #multihulls #catamarans #knots #ropes #hitch #groundhitch #learnknots #learntosail #katschool #knot #rope #lovesailing #sailinglife #clovehitch
