Learn Essential Knots

Complete pack with 3 practice ropes and illustrated guide to 33 knots, splices and whippings.

All you need to help you learn the important knots, and a perfect gift for the keen sailor or outdoor adventurer. The pack contains 3 one-metre lengths of coloured rope (the colours may vary) together with the beautifully illustrated 64-page Knots & Splices book. The book features the ten knots everyone should know, plus 16 other knots and 7 splices and whippings. It illustrates clearly how to tie each knot using sequential diagrams and a step-by-step approach. The use and benefits of each knot is described and the times when special care is needed highlighted. Combined with the practice ropes, this is an ideal way to learn how to tie knots which will serve a lifetime's sailing or adventuring.

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.
