A practical guide to sailing knots

Peter Owen’s revised guide organizes more than fifty sailing knots by type, including stopper knots, bends, loops, and hitches. Illustrated, step-by-step instructions pair tying methods with explanations of how and when each knot is used, making the book a hands-on reference for both technique and application. Its subject also reflects the mix of materials used in sailing: the description notes the increased use of artificial-fiber and wire ropes, while identifying natural fiber as the favored choice for decorative knotting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Sailors seeking illustrated instructions for common knots and their uses
  • Learners who want a reference organized around knot types
  • Readers interested in ropework for sailing and decorative knotting

Book overview

In recent years, sailing has undergone some revolutionary changes: Satellites and autopilots are now used for navigation. Artificial-fiber and wire ropes have nearly replaced natural-fiber ropes. But when it comes to decorative knotting, natural fiber is still the favored choice. This book is tops when it comes to learning how to master tying the most common sailing knots. With fully illustrated and step-by-step instructions, the author explains how to correctly tie and use more than fifty knots--including stopper knots, bends, loops, and hitches--and in which situations each one is most useful.
