Watch this video of the same method. Here is a handy reference for you to take with you as you master the two fastest methods of tying a conventional bowline. These methods will help you to:
Tie a bowline towards yourself;
Tie a bowline around an object;
Tie a bowline blindfolded, underwater, under pressure!
The bowline is the most important knot in sailing. It is arguably the most important knot you can learn. Master these two methods and you will have a life-skill that you will use time and again!
We teach both methods as part of our sailing programs. These are held in the Caribbean throughout the year.
