Tying a Bowline Behind Your Back!!!

In this short video we explain how to tie a bowline when you can't see your hands. The bowline is one of the most commonly used knots in sailing or on sailboats. Many of us have learned the rabbit-hole-tree method, but I find that difficult to use when I can't see what I'm doing. With practice the method shown in this video can be done by feel, without the need to see your hands. To tie the bowline around an object using this method, simply pass the bitter end around the object before passing it back through the thumb loop (i.e. between steps 2 and 3) and pulling the knot over itself.

Taking our headsail down takes hours and requires at least three people. Why do you need to know that? Many new sailing cruisers focus on the physical requirements for sailing, but sailing is only part of the equation. When buying a sailboat it's important to discover the physical requirements required to service and maintain your boat. If you can't do it yourself, it's going to cost money for someone to do it for you. Find out what it takes to sail AND maintain a Bluewater sailboat.

? Full test in Multihulls World N°196: ? https://www.multicoques-mag.com/essais/catamaran/hh44-un-catamaran-hybride-et-plein-d-astuces The smallest model in the HH range manages to reconcile a very "performance" vision of cruising (all-carbon construction, a sleek sail plan with a 62' / 19 m mast, and deep daggerboards in the SC version) with a hybrid propulsion system. The HH44, with its 3.2 kWp of solar panels, 50.4 kWh of Lithium-Ion batteries and two 10 kW electric motors, is capable of covering 18 nautical miles at 7.5 knots in full electric mode. The catamaran will be equipped with a very efficient hydro-generation system for charging while under sail. Diesel engines give total safety by doubling the means of propulsion. At anchor or in port, the transoms fold down on each side to create bathing platforms. All sail controls are managed from the aft helm stations. Inside, the nacelle is generously airy. The port hull is home to the Owner's suite. This model comes in an Ocean Cruising version with classic fiberglass construction, aluminum mast, and skeg keels, while the Sports Cruising version incorporates carbon throughout and daggerboards. ?
