As always at this time of year here is a video of Sagitta ashore at the Multihull Centre, Millbrook Cornwall. As you can see, they really pack us in - yet there's always room for more! (why not play "Spot the monohull", I think there are four) Sagitta will have some jobs done this winter, mainly cosmetic, so not like last years marathon refit. Launching in mid March, ready for next seasons cruising and racing. You can see more on Sagitta here https://www.sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/designs-2/3-25ft-to-30ft-catamarans-designs/171-sagitta and the Multihull Centre here https://www.multihullcentre.com/multihull-centre/
The Zeppelin Bend. 🔸 More knots at 'kats.co/kts' 🔸 I think different colour ropes are really handy for seeing what's going on. Once you get this one down, it's really easy to remember and it's great for tying two ropes together. 🔸 You can also use a sheet bend (different sizes) or a double sheet bend (covered in a separate post). The Zeppelin is the strongest though, IMO, and it doesn't jam under load. 🔸 This knot was used to anchor airships down. You can just tell by the look of it that it's really strong. 🔸 Plus, it's got a great name: The Zeppelin Bend, or Zepper: it's the rock star of knots! 🔸 🔸 🔸 #knots #sailing #ropes #learntosail #knot #rope #learnknots #katamarans #katschool #zeppelinbend #learnhowtosail #howtotieknots #boatknots #bestknots
