Bowline Knot is the most useful and most popular knot in the world of sailing – it is easy to tie, but also to untie. It is, however, extremely firm and secure. Watch more How to tie videos: https://www.sailingeurope.com/blog/sailing-knots Learn how to tie a Bowline Knot: Step1: Form a loop Form a loop by simply crossing the two sides of the line. Step 2: Line through the rope At this point, you should have two ends – a free and a standing one. As you’ve made the loop, bring the free end of the line through the rope (as some like to say – the rabbit comes out of the hole). Step 3: Wrap it Wrap it around the standing end and bring it back through the loop (the rabbit goes around the tree and then back into the hole). Step 4: Tighten Tighten the knot by pulling both ends.

*ad* One of my favorite things about the Antigravity A1 is that it doesn't feel like flying a drone... It feels like playing a video game. 😅 It's incredibly easy to fly, which is exactly what I need as a solo sailor. But the real magic? It's a 360° drone. That means I don't have to worry about framing the perfect shot while I'm sailing. I simply launch it, focus on sailing the boat, and choose the camera angle afterwards in the edit. For someone who's usually sailing alone, that's a game changer. That's also one of the reasons the Antigravity A1 is coming with me on the Golden Globe Race. It's approved for the race, easy to operate solo, and lets me capture moments that would otherwise never make it to camera.
