If you have been going to sea for years, we are sure that on board and at the dock you use the classic knots: gassa d’amante, piano, parlato, savoia, bocca di lupo. Good, but it can be done better. The best knot to use will vary depending on the situation and the type of object to which we are going to tie the line. We show you, step by step, how to tie the ganciato plane knot, flag knot, cowboy knot and Hunter’s knot.

Each node is shown in all its stages of execution, just these above!
