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

The 9 x World Champion, Your Race Around the World, Remote 40 footers and Flying Cats. From winning nine world titles to heading deep into the Southern Ocean aboard a 40 footer, from taking an F50 cat fully airborne to the next generation of round the world racing for everyone, this week we take a look at four very different corners of the sport starting with Ian Williams’ incredible ninth win in the World Match Racing Tour. How did the defining day play out? Meanwhile at the opposite end of the scale the fleet of Class 40’s competing in the Globe 40 race are heading to the most remote point at sea where the International Space Station provides the closest access to other humans. We take a quick look at SailGP’s opening event where the local ‘doctor’ has been causing a few breakages, injuries and hairy moments, before turning our attention to the new 72footer that you could be racing around the world in 2027.
