Reeds Knot Handbook e-bog

Part of the bestselling Reeds Skipper's Handbook series, this handy pocket guide presents the most useful knots and splices for onboard (and dockside) use. Each knot will have a double page spread with step by step photos plus a tying diagram, accompanied by carefully explained instructions on how to tie the knot plus its most appropriate uses (for example - is it strong enough not to stretch or slip? Will it untie quickly in an emergency? Can it be tied with all thicknesses and types of rope?)All boaters need a repertoire of reliable knots they can use almost without thinking about them - this book will act as a quick aide memoire, as well as providing novices with all the steps they need to master the most useful knots they will need on a regular basis when going to sea.
