While some sailors may be particular about their usage, we take a more laid-back approach and explore the technical distinctions. Learn how rope is considered a raw material, while a line is a rope with a specific job onboard a vessel.

The ➰ Snuggle Hitch is super-charged Clove Hitch that is stronger and more secure. Use it for attaching a line to a spar or rope. It works for both lengthways and right-angled pulls. Easy to release and only seconds longer to tie than the Clove. 🔸 Wrap the line around and bring the working end across diagonally from right to left over the standing part. 🔸 Lead the working end back over & lead it up behind, over diagonally from left to right. Then tuck up through the first loop. 🔸 🔸 🔸 #knots #ropes #hitch #snugglehitch #katschool #multihulls #sailing #catamarans #rope #learnknots #sailingschool #katamarans #howtotieahitch #howtotieknots #learntosail #lovesailing #katknots
