       iOS Universal

The essential knot-tying guide. Including 25 knots and splices every sailor should master.

This is the perfect guide to learn the fundamental knots and splices of sailing: for those who like “simply messing about in boats”, to those who just love messing around with knots.

Features Include:
-Three-dimensional animation that can be played in real time, slow motion, and controlled with a slider bar for easy understanding.
- Clear and detailed video demos of each knot and splice from the editors at Sailing World add another dimension of learning to the skill of tying a “Sheet Bend” or creating a “3 Strand Eye Splice.”
- Each knot and splice is fully described and its purpose and use clearly and concisely presented.
