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.

When Marit Bouwmeester (NED) started sailing she never dreamed she'd be one of the favourites for Laser Radial gold at an Olympic Games. But Bouwmeester will be one of the hotly fancied sailors in the fleet and after her 2011 ISAF Worlds victory she knows what it takes to win.
