Great Sailing Knots (Sailing Virgins) Ep.02

Great sailing knots are a staple for skippers around the world. In this episode we cover not just the six great sailing knots, but a couple of different methods of tying them.

For example did you know you can tie a sheet bend using exactly the same method as tying a bowline? This means you can use your muscle memory for a knot you tie all the time, for a knot you may not tie so often.

Bowline - faster take on the traditional method: 0:48
Bowline V2 - incredibly fast "special forces" method: 2:01
Clove Hitch - full and quick-release method: 3:53
Round Turn & Two Half-Hitches - the underrated knot: 5:41
Double Sheet-Bend - our favourite method: 6:54
Pro Tip: NEVER DO THIS!! Bowline on bowline: 9:15
(ps. its efficiency is probably better than 5% - James was exaggerating. It's still a shit solution. Do a double sheet-bend. SO much better)
The Rolling Hitch - VERY handy in certain situations: 10:18
Figure 8 - tried and true stopper knot: 12:21
