Knots, Bends, Hitches, Whippings and Splices
Knots in Use is a bestseller among knotting books. A handy pocket size, it covers all the most useful and practical knots, bends, hitches, whippings and splices used everyday by anyone going to sea. It shows at a glance both how to tie the knot, bend or hitch, and how to use it most effectively in situ aboard.
The straightforward text and excellent colour photographs, coupled with QR codes linking to online video demonstrations, new for this edition, make this a very user-friendly book – a must-have if you're going to sea.
Here is one of the online videos from the book:
Colin Jarman has been a professional marine photojournalist for over 40 years and an avid sailor for well over 50 years. His interest in knots and ropework began when he started sailing and has resulted in a number of bestselling books on the subject. Colin sails his 21ft bilge keeled cruiser along England's East Coast and the Thames Estuary, where he loves to explore small creeks and remote anchorages.
