The Fishermans Knot is a simple but effective way to join two lengths of rope together. The knot is more secure than a sheet bend under light load as you can tighten the overhand knots around the main lines which prevent the knot from coming undone before load is put on the lines. The Fishermans knot is preferred to tying a sheet bend when the rope diameters are the same. If you are going to have constant high levels of load on the joined lines the Fishermans Knot will become hard to untie, if you are join ropes which will stay under constant load are Sheet Bend will work better. Learning how to tie a fisherman knot is easy, most people already know how to tie a overhand knot, the Fishermans knot is tied by combining two overhand knots.

En esta ocasión la travesía era desde Tenerife a la isla de la Gomera. Llegando, como podéis ver, nos cogió unos 🌪️ vientos fuertes de hasta 35 nudos navegando de Ceñida, por lo que con un tercio de la Génova, superamos los 8 Nudos de velocidad a bordo de este Bavaria 41 del año 2003.
