#katknots 🥨 Rolling Hitch. We haven't done any knots for a while, and we think this one is an essential one to have in your locker. This knot hitches a new line to an existing line (or chain). ▫️ You can use it to take the load off a jammed winch (normally the jib or Code 0 sheet). Or it comes in handy for making an adjustable bridle, if the swell and wind are coming from different directions. ▫️ Tie the first half hitch in the direction of the load (eg towards the sail or anchor). Then go round the standing end, come over again and tuck through the gap. The trick is to keep wrapping in the same direction, towards the load. ▫️ You should be able to see a dog leg or link in the original line and be able to slide the knot forward towards the load. It shouldn't budge pulling in the opposite direction. ▫️ You can tie this with one less wrap or "roll", it will depend on what size your lines are and what type of material the rope is made out of. Test and practice it before you need it. ▫️ What is your favourite knot? ▫️ ▫️ #knots #learnknots #ropes #learntheropes #sailingtips #learntosail #sailing #knot #hitch #rollinghitch #sailinginstagram #sailinglife #rope #lovesailing #katamarans

BSG Development’s Sailcom program allows customers, salesmen and designers to view proposed new sails in the beginning of the purchasing process. The Sailcom program takes measurements of your boat and rig so that the proposed sail can be displayed in place. This insures proper fit, informed conversations and guaranteed measurements that transfer without error to the BSG sail design program. The detailed 3D rendering not only shows sail shape, but it also shows the appearance of the proposed sail based on the construction method and materials quoted. So ask your UK salesman for a sneak peak at your next new sail before for any cloth gets cut. This video shows a fractional code zero for a Marten 49.

There are no words 💔 CEEREF's Matteo Auguardo has been taken from us far too early, caught in an avalache in the Alps on Sunday 12 January. One of the world's most experienced professional bowmen Matteo, 48, was much admired, and enjoyed life to the full as both an adventurer and a sportsman. The thoughts and love of the 44Cup community are with his beautiful family.
