The Figure 8 is one of the greatest knots of all. This is the figure 8 stoppper knot, used to prevent line from slipping through grommets, pulleys and the like. It's used in sailing, boating, climbing and ton of other applications. This is also the first part of a proper figure 8 knot for climbing. While not the most practical way to tie this knot, it looks kinda cool. Watch and you, too, can tie a figure 8 knot in 2 seconds! #knots #sailing #climbing Music by Nik Piscitello @neverbelukewarm on Insta

CLUB MARINE TV CHANNEL: https://youtu.be/epwqrhtiXi8 The news that Wild Oats XI was struck by lightning at the weekend is a significant setback to what has been a very comprehensive period of preparation for the team. Mark ‘Ricko’ Richards, the ever-upbeat skipper of Wild Oats XI and his team will doubtless take this challenge in their stride, maintaining focus on their declared end game of completing this year’s race to Hobart after damage-induced retirements in the last two years. In this interview with Ricko we hear why and how the presence of Peter Harburg's Black Jack has sharpened the game for both boats and their crews in looking to stare down the competition from InfoTrack and LDV Comanche in this year's race.
