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

Full test in Multihulls World N°202: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/trimaran/dragonfly-36-performance-for-gliding-along-as-fast-as-the-windWe had the opportunity to sail aboard the Dragonfly 36, recently elected Multihull of the Year in the Sport Sailing category, in the company of Jens Quorning, the head of the shipyard which bears his name. This trimaran, in its Performance version (with a rig that is over six feet / 2 meters taller) is undoubtedly a fast and enjoyable multihull to sail. Without too much effort, you can be sailing at the windspeed... In terms of design, the 36 is the first Dragonfly to feature three inverted bows - until now, the central hull has always retained a traditional bow shape. Below deck, the new interior design features double cabins forward and aft, a separate bathroom, a fully equipped galley and a spacious saloon. The standard finish is in ash, with elm as an option. Like all Dragonfly models, this trimaran can be folded thanks to its optimized Swing Wing system. It takes just 1 minute and 30 seconds to reduce the width from 26'8" (8.12 m) down to 12'2" (3.7 m). As for the pivoting appendages, they make it very easy to take the ground, as we were able to see for ourselves. By the end of the International Multihull Show, the shipyard had already taken 27 orders, representing more than two years' worth of production... Read the full test in our next issue (Multihulls World #202, out in digital format at the end of May).

Stamattina la sveglia è presto. Ieri siamo andati a dormire molto tardi. Il risultato è uno squisito connubio tra palpebre pesanti e tachicardia da suoneria del telefono. ? Oggi le operazioni sono molte e certosine: bisogna chiudere tutto, staccare la luce, chiudere le prese a mare, fare il ciclo di pulizia al dissalatore. Insomma, sono 200 giorni circa che non ci separiamo dalla bella Julia ?? e siamo emozionati. Come si dorme in un letto vero? E il rubinetto che può restare aperto mentre ti lavi il viso? Vogliamo poi parlare del rumore della città? Come si fa ragazzi? Chi ci pensava più. Sarà meglio abituarsi, perché ormai siamo in Mediterraneo e il rientro è dietro l'angolo. ?? Come faremo senza reel del giorno? ? Respiro, c'è tempo. Adesso pensiamo a chiudere tutto, sistemare l'ormeggio e trascorrere un weekend a guardare il mare dalla spiaggia. Che in fondo ha il suo fascino da qualunque parte lo guardi. ?
