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.

Lifting out the galley marks a major milestone here at the refit of Hawila. Many memories are connected to the place where the crew not only shared common meals but also dreams and moments of togetherness. Video edit: Karoline Hill Music: Drunken Sailor by Cooper Cannell

The Mat1010 Elixir hunts down the J109 GTR shortly after the stare of the deciding race 3 in the annual Narrows Series on Strangford Lough. With the wind running straight up the narrows and the tide moving faster than it at times it was key to keep some speed up so that you did not loose steerage. Elixir was ducking and weaving to find a gap and punched through into the lead shortly after this clip. She stretched out a solid lead before GTR pulled back time after setting the Code Zero on Leg 4 of the race. This sail choice was game changer which gave Going to Red the win in race 3 and the overall series. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you enjoyed this short clip for a great weekend of Yacht Racing.
