RYA Competent Crew: Useful Knots

Competent Crew Course details: ? https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew Instructor Hilly shows us a couple of the knots you will learn on our RYA Competent Crew Course from Southampton. The bowline and the stopper knot. The bowline is a great knot. It creates a very useful loop and can be used in all sorts of situations. It doesn't come undone under load and is easy to undo, making it a really useful knot aboard a sailboat. The stopper knot (figure of 8) is also a useful knot. These two are just some of the sailing knots you will learn with us. Other knots that you will learn on a Competent Crew course are the round turn and two half hitches, the clove hitch, the rolling hitch, the reef knot, the single and the double sheet bends. ** About the RYA Competent Crew course in Southampton ** The RYA Competent Crew course is the perfect introduction for beginners who want to get into sailing and is specifically designed for those with little to no sailing experience.
