Due to a hectic week of sailing our boat to her berth, moving in and overwhelmed by fatigue, I made a preview for this week of vlog 11. Next week the full episode will be online! Short intro: After years of grief for my husband I've decided to change our home for a sailboat with ZERO experience...I'm just following my heart. I stay with my girls in The Netherlands where we at first will live on the boat untill my youngest will fly out..Then I will set sail to the world. (La Belle Bleu = my love for the sea and the name we want to give to the boat.) I hope I can inspire you to follow yours! Thank you for watching, I really appreciate you following along my journey. Don't want to wait until the next video?

Check out the link below for full instructions on how to tie the Highwayman's Hitch. https://youtu.be/USjyE1nTV9Q The Highwayman’s hitch is a quick-release draw hitch used for temporarily securing a load that will need to be released easily and cleanly. The hitch can be untied with a tug of the working end, even when under tension. The highwayman's hitch can be tied in the middle of a rope, and so the working end does not need to be passed around the anchor when tying or releasing. The knot is three bights that each successively lock the previous one: - The first one, in the middle of the rope, wraps around the pole, - The second one (called the toggle bight) is a bight of the standing part locking the first one so the pole is held tight, and - The third one (called the slip-tuck) is a bight of the working part (slack end) locking the second bight. The locking actions are achieved by reaching through each bight to pull the next one through. The knot has to be finished by pulling the standing part tight to ensure that it holds. Until the knot is tightened and properly dressed, the highwayman's hitch has little holding power. The highwayman's hitch is susceptible to capsizing when the pole is substantially larger than the rope diameter. The failure occurs because the second bight sees the force of the standing part, but is held in place by the working part, which has no tension. When capsizing, tension on the standing part pulls the second bight through the first bight. This drags the slip-tuck through, and will release the hitch if the third bight isn't long enough. The team at bottom up boats hope you enjoyed our latest video demonstration where we teach you how to tie the highwayman's hitch.
