"The book is just what it claims to be, all the essentials. Just what you need to know, done up in a neat handy package ready to put on board." -- SAILING

THE ESSENTIAL KNOT BOOK covers all the bends, hitches, whippings and splices used every day by anyone going to sea. It shows at a glance both how to tie the knot, bend or hitch, and how to use it most effectively in situ aboard. The straightforward text and excellent color photographs, coupled with QR codes linking to online video demonstrations, new for this edition, make this a very user-friendly book–a must-have if you're aboard any boat,large or small.
