One of my new favourite knots is the Zeppelin Bend, for tying 2 ropes together. It's a very strong knot from the late 18th century that was used to secure Zeppelin airships full of hydrogen or helium to the ground. This video will quickly show you how to tie one. .... This knot can cope with a huge strain and it won't jam under load, meaning you can untie it in an emergency: it's the Mother of all knots. ... Zeppelins were up to 3 times longer than a 747. That's quite a force for a knot. Sure, you can just use a Sheet Bend for the same purpose, but why ask Mr Bean for help when you know Schwarzenegger? Anyway, this knot has a great back story and a cool name: the Zepper!

While we were motoring back into Canet-en-Roussillon marina at the end of our week charter on an Excess 11, we were overtaken by Zig Zag, a Windelo 54 under full main and Code 0. She looked like she was doing about true wind speed, 7 knots. ▫️ An unfair comparison as we were on a 37 foot boat with no big head sails and in a totally different price range, but it was cool to see this eco performance cat slicing through the water with all of her sails up! ▫️ Full sail test at https://youtu.be/4U53-eWP4tk ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #multihulls #sailing #catamarans #sailinglife #multihull #catamaran #sailingshorts #windelospotting #katamarans #windelo #windelo54 @windelocatamaran #performancecatamarans #ecoyacht

February saw the Slice 'n' Dice crew head to Japan to find the home of snowsurf culture, whilst putting an elbow or two down themselves. Stay tuned for the next few volumes, featuring everything from night shredding to crazy carve parks, coming soon.
