I don't remeber if you already made a video about making the one handed bowline, I think it would be very important specially for safety reasons, dont you think?. Thanks!!!!!

Captain John's Skipper Tips - 8 years ago

I teach two types of bowlines that I've used for 25+ years in all types of boating and sailing situations. They are fast, easy to remember and work every time. I do not teach trick type knots (one handed) because most are not secure enough. You must use two hands to make any knot tight and compact in the final step. Otherwise, it has a high risk of spilling (untying). See these videos: https://youtu.be/eRp7uDl5d7E and https://youtu.be/B6Dhnsoe6Kc
