Beginning with the 10 knots everyone needs to know, this heavily illustrated book also covers bends, hitches, loops, bindings, fishing knots, splicing and handling rope.

This beautiful full-colour book covers knots, splices and whippings. It begins with the ten knots everyone should know. The other knots are grouped by use so that if, for example, you want to make a loop you have eight knots to choose from. Each stage of each knot is illustrated and its uses, strong points and weak points are highlighted.

Steve Judkins is a member of the International Guild of Knot Tyers. He is a professional sailing instructor and was formerly in the Royal Navy, serving on HMY Britannia. Tim Davison is a highly experienced sailor, who spends much of his time racing dinghies and cruising the Mediterranean.
