This is the 🥨 Ground-Line Hitch which is more secure than the Clove Hitch. It's a great knot for tying fenders to guardrails. Fenders are expensive, so more secure is good! 🔸 Wind the rope around the rail and cross over diagonally. Come back around the rail again, pass across diagonally again and tuck into the first loop. 🔸 It's pretty easy when you get the hang of it. You can also make a bight (loop) in the working end before the very last tuck if you want a quick release version. 🔸 #sailing #multihulls #catamarans #knots #ropes #hitch #groundhitch #learnknots #learntosail #katschool #knot #rope #lovesailing #sailinglife #katamarans #katknots
Meet Carol and Sally! They recently picked up their new Scamp and are going to be sharing their experiences learning to sail her, and then exploring waters in the desert southwest (Lake Powell, AZ is a big one they want to camp cruise). “I thought it would be wise for my body to not only build up strength, but to stretch and use some postures and slow movements I usually associate with yoga or tai chi,” said Carol. “Doing this might prevent injuries no matter your age.” In this case, showing is better than telling, so here’s a short video demonstrating Carol’s strength and mobility-building routine in preparation for sailing her new Scamp! Get to know them on their intro post on our blog, and follow along as they learn and sail in their new Scamp! https://ghboats.com/2025/07/launching-into-the-scamp-adventures-of-carol-and-sally/
