Review
"... a practical guide for all sailors." -- Great Lakes Sailor
"Essential insights for any climber, from a master of the sport." -- Outside
"One of the better how-to-do-everything books we've seen." -- Climbing
"Robert Taylor conveys a sailor's love for the smart use of cordage." -- WoodenBoat --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Large, small, traditional, or contemporary, all boats share one thing in common: rope. Learning how to deal with the gnarly stuff is the major prerequisite for graceful boat handling. In Knowing the Ropes, Roger Taylor lends his lifetime of seagoing experience to boaters of all skill levels, describing--with the help of Kathy Bray's drawings--every aspect of ropework aboard: how to choose it, use it, care for it, knot it, coil it, whip it, marry it, haul on it, and reef and lash with it. You learn how to control sails, tow a dinghy, handle the anchor, move heavy cargo, and dock under any conditions. You learn the ropes. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
