Navigatrice britannique née en 1974, Samantha Davies est l’une des figures les plus inspirantes de la course au large. Elle se révèle au grand public lors du Vendée Globe 2008-2009, en terminant à la 4ᵉ place, seule à la barre de son voilier sur un tour du monde sans escale ni assistance. Mais c’est en 2020 qu’elle marque les esprits d’une manière encore plus forte : lors du Vendée Globe, elle heurte un OFNI (objet flottant non identifié) au large du Cap de Bonne-Espérance, endommageant gravement son voilier Initiatives-Cœur. Forcée d’abandonner officiellement la course, elle refuse pourtant de renoncer. Après des réparations au Cap, elle reprend la mer, seule, et boucle hors course le tour du monde — pour tenir sa promesse, pour elle-même, et surtout pour continuer à soutenir l’association Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque, qui lui tient tant à cœur. Un acte de courage et d’engagement qui montre que l’esprit marin, ce n’est pas seulement franchir une ligne d’arrivée, mais garder le cap, même quand tout semble perdu. #SamanthaDavies #Voile #VendéeGlobe #femmesfortes #navigation #courseaularge #Inspirante #ocean #Aventure
The Alpine butterfly knot, also known as lineman's loop, butterfly loop, butterfly knot and lineman's rider, is a knot used to form a fixed loop in the middle of a rope. There are multiple ways to tie the Alpine Butterfly knot, in today's video we will teach you the wrap method where we form the knot by creating three loop around you hand to form the base of the knot. It can be tied without access to either end of the rope, this is a distinct advantage when working with long sheets or halyards. The Alpine butterfly knot is an excellent mid-line rigging knot, it handles multi-directional loading well and has a symmetrical shape that makes it easy to inspect. The Alpine Butter fly knot is great for creating temporary purchase systems which can help secure items with additional holding power. Making it great for tying down dinghies, spars, sails or just about anything you can loop your rope around. The Alpine Butterfly knot will tighten on itself making a secure loop or purchase system, it can be easily undo even after heavy load is applied making it a great temporary solution when a loop is needed.
