Bowline

The bowline! Probably the most important single tool of the sailor. As a long-term instructor I’m here to tell you that it’s among the more challenging items to teach – if you’re tying it like a sailor, that is. There’s many a fancy way of doing the job, but the one used by all serious professionals at sea is the one used by Admiral Nelson, and I’ll bet John Paul Jones favoured it as well. Once you’ve cracked it, you’ll never fluff a bowline on a dark night again. #knots, #tomcunliffe, #sailing, #ropework If you’re interested in sailing, things maritime and the salty road to freedom, you'll enjoy my channel, so pour yourself a glass of the finest and settle down with my personal mixture of yarns and useful instructional material. When I’m away cruising, I never know when I'll get the opportunity to upload. If you can't wait, why not become a member of my website club?
