Some excellent knot pages

Some useful knots

Inspired by a sailing trip with Ken McCormack, I put together this page that holds instructions on tying some useful knots. (This page was created around 1993 and has not really changed since then.)

Some terminology: A hitch is a knot that ties a line onto something else. A bend is a knot that ties together two lines.

Here are the knots

In some of the movies it is hard to make out what goes over and under what, sorry about that.  You can really only learn these knots by tying them yourself many times, spaced over a period of months.  Otherwise you (or at least I) forget very quickly the ordering.  I would suggest checking out many other excellent knot sites for step-by-step instructions.
