The Lightning Bowline - Your #1 Chance to be a Hero

This week's episode is about RopeWork & Knot Tying. In this introductory video I walk you through the, 'Lightning' Method' of casting a Bowline which is great for posts and large rings. This can be a life saver in certain circumstances and is your #1 Chance to be a crew hero! This is the introductory teaser for a much longer (35 min) video that covers all aspects of Bowlines that you can watch over on Patreon for the price of a beer! Video is available from 1400 Hours AST on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/themariner?fan_landing=true In it you'll find multiple tying variations for the bowline and an explanation of when to use them. There are also methods of creating stable bowlines that will not shake out in dynamic situations & discussion about the breaking strength of bowlines made in modern kernmantel and Class 1 ropes as opposed to traditional 3-strand rope, Finally, I chat through the history and applications for the bowline in modern sailing. If you want to stretch your seamanship knowledge - there is only one question: Is it worth a beer to you?
