Riassunto

A little book of the 4 basic knots to get started messing about in small boats. Color photos of real knots in use on real boats, the bowline, figure 8, half hitch and square knot. Also includes chapters on the sailor's spar hitch and marlin hitch. Bonus chapters cover nautical terms, how to tie a cleat hitch, wrap a flemish coil, belay a line and whip the end of a line, all the boatcraft skills needed to keep a small ship looking ship shape. The small boats featured in this guide are some of the most popular sailboats ever made, the Sunfish, the O'Day Daysailer and the Drascombe Lugger, so there is a good chance you'll be tying lines on one of these boats.

Skipper and Clark are avid sailors with a special fondness for classic small boats. They maintain a tiny fleet of kayaks, a canoe, a Sorg runabout, Drascombe Lugger, O'Day Daysailer, Alcort Sailfish and 5 Sunfish, dating back to the 13th Sunfish built, ZIP! They also restore small boats, helping return over 35 boats back to their natural habitat. In 2013 they published The Sunfish Owners Manual, and continue restoring classic Sunfish.
