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!
Brand-new state-of-the-art toilets and showers are now officially open at our Hamble Point Marina on the River Hamble. This major upgrade is part of a wider £1.2 million investment in the marina, with £500,000 dedicated specifically to transforming the washroom facilities. And there’s more to come! Work is currently underway on the redevelopment of the marina office, set to open this summer. The new space will feature a welcoming reception, a small essentials store for refreshments and supplies, and 24/7 access to the new facilities directly through the office. Visit http://www.hamblepointmarina.co.uk for more details on the marina.
