Knots, Ropes & Rigging Books

Knots, splicing and ropework are among the most practical skills a sailor can learn. This collection covers everything from basic knots for beginners to advanced splicing techniques for modern synthetic ropes, with pocket guides you can keep in the cockpit and detailed handbooks for the bookshelf.

You will also find books on rigging, sail trim and rig tuning for those looking to get more from their sails. Titles range from the RYA Knots, Splices and Ropework Handbook and the Reeds Knot Handbook to Des Pawson's creative ropecraft guides and Brion Toss's Complete Rigger's Apprentice. Whether you need to tie a bowline, splice a mooring line or tune your rig, there is a book here for it.
