Synopsis:
From America's best-known knot authority, here is an indispensable guide to more than 100 knots. Whether you want to tie lines together, lash oars in place, attach a sail to a boom, or extend a towing line, the knot you need, with variations for specific conditions, is here. Along with the easy-to-follow line drawings, there's information on the uses, advantages, and disadvantages of each type; a glossary; and charts of synthetic rope weights, strengths and elasticities.
About the Author: Brion Toss is the leading expert on knots. The author of The Complete Rigger's Apprentice, his experience ranges from the most modern hydraulically-controlled rod and rigging raceboat to a replica of a seventeenth-century trading vessel. Gae Pilon is an illustrator whose work also includes Steel Away, a book about steel boats.
Chapman is one of the most widely respected names in boating, and is the legacy of Charles F. Chapman, a boating pioneer and editor. Chapman Piloting, widely considered the bible of boating, has been relied on for more than 80 years as the authoritative boating reference.
