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.

Fellow GFC Camper owners: I found some great, easy-to-install latch covers over on Etsy. I also squirted a bit of silicone grease down into the spring mechanism of my latches. So far, there have been no problems opening the latches in icy, cold, below-zero Canadian weather.

Vitalia II (ex Orange II) is the fastest catamaran to have sailed around the world in 50 days 16 hours 20 minutes and 4 seconds. She held the overall record from 2005 to 2010 until it was broken by an Últim class trimaran, Groupama 3. ▫️ Do you think you could sail her as quickly as the skipper, Bruno Peyron did? ▫️ Robert Knox-Johnston went round in 1968/69 in 313 days on Suhaili (3.39 knots average). ▫️ There's a typo in the reel 🙄. Can you spot it? ▫️ #speed #record #maxiyacht
