Knot Companion

This is an essential guide to tying knots, covering the 10 knots everyone should know, plus coiling and throwing a rope and whipping (stopping the end unravelling). This little companion serves as a great reminder of crucial information. It is laminated to stand up to frequent use and serves as a super aide-memoire that will fit into your jacket pocket.

About Fernhurst Books

Fernhurst Books was founded in 1979, initially publishing books related to dinghy racing. The list soon expanded to include cruising and other watersports. In 2006 the business was sold to John Wiley, but in 2013 a group of sailing enthusiasts (including the original founder) bought the list and name back, once again creating an independent nautical publisher owned and run by sailors. Fernhurst continues to publish books that instruct, inform and inspire those with a passion on, in or under the water. Their 140+ titles range from how-to guides to narrative to coffee-table books, covering sailing, surfing, canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, swimming, diving and fishing.
