The knowledge of basic sailors knots is an absolute minimum if you are planning to spend holidays on a yacht. And that is why we have prepared for you a brief guidebook! But do not worry, it is really easy - every future crew member will learn fast, especially with the YACHTIC.com guidebook!
The skills which every cruise participant should have include blocking a warp by means of a cleat. This knowledge will be useful also in case of other ropes on a yacht. The bowline or unclamping loop has a versatile application, particularly as a warp loop - it is worth knowing or even everyone should know how to tie it. Unlike the bowline a clove hitch is a clamping loop most often used to hang fenders on rails. Another useful skill is coiling ropes, i. e. winding it up properly. Then you will not have a problem to untangle it! A flat knot comes useful in a situation when you have to combine two ropes of the same thickness. The advantage is that it can be untied very easily.
We hope that thanks to our guidebook you are no longer a stranger to the sailors knots! Practice before you leave and you will feel more prepared for the cruise. See you on water!
