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.

This animation is made by KTF Cranes who will be craning out the 32m aluminium catamaran at our KM yard. The catamaran, previously called Ice Lady Patagonia II, will be at our yard for the next year or so while we perform a major refit and maintenance job on her. Contact us if you are looking for a refit yard as well.

An all-new Super Vortex High Output (SVHO) powertrain that includes an up-rated engine and a high-capacity pump assembly, is now offered in the FX SVHO and Cruiser FX SVHO. Both models offer legitimate 70-plus mph top speed and a powerband that is simply unrelenting throughout the mid-range. In the world of "go big or go home" PWC, it doesn't get much bigger than this.
