How to tie the Anchor hitch. ▫️ Also known as an Anchor Bend although that's a bit of a misnomer. This can be used to fasten a line to an Anchor, a warp to an Anchor chain or to tie your tender off onto a ring at the dock. Careful, it can jam, but it should be fine under moderate loads. ▫️ It's similar to a round turn and 2 half hitches except you tuck the working line through the loop of the turns giving you more friction and a stronger hold. Finish it off with a half hitch. ▫️ Add an extra turn at the beginning if you like. Why not? In fact this will make the knot less susceptible to jamming. ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #hitch #hitches #anchorhitch #multihulls #thehitcher #sailing #catamarans #sailinglife #knots #sailingknots #ropes #bestknots #multihull #knot #boats #yachts #catamaran #rope #instaknots #seamanship #katamarans
Volando el Rokit en el Juancarlos... Sólo 0,5L En otros lanzamientos con botellas de 2L tuvimos grandes problemas de estabilidad. El cuerpo estrecho de la botella de 0,5L parece funcionar mucho mejor. También se ha observado una mejor estabilidad de la botella de Fanta frente a la de Cocacola. Quiza debido a que el estrangulamiento evita que el agua trepe por las paredes, o quiza incluso por un efecto coanda (?)... Flying the Rokit on the Juan Carlos I park in Madrid. As previous flights with 2L bottles were highly unstable, we took here a narrower 0,5L Fanta bottle, wich performed much better. The performing has been observed to be better also against 0,5L Coke bottles, which could be due to the water not rising through the walls of the rocket because of the throat of the Fanta bottle, or maybe even (?) due to a coanda effect...
