The RYA Book of Knots

by PeterOwen (Author)

Synopsis

All boaters - whether at sea, on rivers or canals, and whether on dinghies, yachts, canalboats or motorcruisers - need to know how to tie and use a variety of knots. The RYA Book of Knots now reissued with 2-colour diagrams for easy reference, will enable the reader to master over 50 of the most useful knots they will ever need The knots are divided into groups such as stopper knots, bends, loops and hitches, each of which is used for different purposes. The clear illustrations show how to tie each knot and for which situations it is most useful. There is a handy indication of which knots are easy to tie quickly in emergencies, and which work best with natural or artificial fibre ropes, and finally advice on securing rope ends.
