Book Overview

The definitive bible of every knot seafarers need to know, packed with step-by-step diagrams and photography.

Featuring all the knots, hitches, bends, splices, whipping and decorative knotwork that you would find on a boat, this comprehensive guide will help sailors, climbers, anglers and all those who regularly use knotwork master essential skills.

Over 200 knots are scored for strength, reliability, ease of tying (and untying) and usefulness. Step by step photographs show how to make each knot, and demonstrate how they can be used, such as in the rigging or for mooring boats. Interesting knot know-how sections give extra information about the knot's history, plus helpful tips and techniques, including choosing the right rope for the right task and using the right knot. As well as all the old standards the book also features quirky new knots like the Apple Pie knot.

With a beautiful modern design, and highly illustrated with full colour photographs and instructive diagrams throughout, The Knot Bible remains accessible to all sailors of all levels of experience whilst still being the king of knot books. This second edition has been updated and improved throughout and now also features extra sections showing photographs of each knot category used in a practical nautical setting as well as new material on splicing double braid rope.
