Kn
ot-tying is a vital competency skill for seafarers, and this expanded edition of The Knot Bible by Nic Compton offers guidance on over 200 knots and their practical uses. It decodes the colourful terminology of knotting − like the benign 'seafarer's whipping' for keeping lines in order.
Aspiring mariners, particularly yacht crew, will find it a useful training supplement for selecting the right knot in challenging conditions. From halyard sheets to mooring lines and even affixing a Red Ensign, this guide ensures your knots hold fast. With step-by-step photos, diagrams, and a detailed glossary, it's a charming gift for sailors, trainees, or craft enthusiasts that will not go unappreciated.
