One of my new favourite knots is the Zeppelin Bend, for tying 2 ropes together. It's a very strong knot from the late 18th century that was used to secure Zeppelin airships full of hydrogen or helium to the ground. This video will quickly show you how to tie one. .... This knot can cope with a huge strain and it won't jam under load, meaning you can untie it in an emergency: it's the Mother of all knots. ... Zeppelins were up to 3 times longer than a 747. That's quite a force for a knot. Sure, you can just use a Sheet Bend for the same purpose, but why ask Mr Bean for help when you know Schwarzenegger? Anyway, this knot has a great back story and a cool name: the Zepper!

A short video of our Race on 23-01-19 on Moreton Bay, winds to 25knots. We hit our speed record of 20.5 knots unfortunately we only recorded 20.2.... Great fun also some footage of our tacking duel with Seraya - a fast mono hull. We were doing 11.5 knots upwind... then we screwed up our spinnaker run - such is life. Thanklsfully I didn't reoced that disaster! Haha.
