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.

The new Striper 200 CC center console, now being built by Larson Boats in Little Falls, MN, is not your average 20-footer. When reviewer Gary Reich found one at the Miami Boat Show, he discovered some bigger-than-expected features. The fishboxes, for example, are built into the deck and have macerators - something commonly found only on larger boats.
