1. Most people teach the bowline a bit different. The free part should be outside not inside the hole for several reasons.

2. Thanks for the great lesson, and thank you for filming POV since that really helps understand the knots much faster!

3. Thank you loads. Need refreshing for clove for climbimg 👍

4. I’ve been searching for a knot tying tutorial, and after viewing about 10 this is the best one yet! Thank you!

5. Fabulous video. Thanks so much. I am hoping to go to basic keelboat sailing school soon and this will make things much less stressful.

6. I know you covered it but the bowline loop must have the standing part of the line beneath the loop (as was mentioned as an OVER-hand loop). The bowline falls apart if you use an UNDER-hand loop. I've gotten good at tie a bowline and square knot. I have reasonable success w/ the figure eight knot. I need to practice the other ones.
   Very well-done instructional video. Thank you!

7. Thank you Sir !
   Your are the best of the best Instructor

8. The Square Knot is responsible for more deaths and injuries than all other knots combined – when used as a bend – to tie two lines together under load. – Clifford Ashley, Ashley Book of Knots (ABOK)
   Excellent on Round Turn and Two Half-Hitches and Sheet Bend.

9. Best sailing knots video. Thanks Marco you makes it easy and simple

10. Reef knot should not be used as a bend, even if the lines are the same diameter. There's just never a reason to use it as a bend, and excellent reasons not to use it. Only for reefing sails, or, binding shoes or sacks or so.

11. Fun fact: The bowline is called "the dragons noose" in czech and the story goes: The dragon flew out of the lake, around the tower and back into the lake.

12. This was the best video on knots I have come across. Really clear style – as with all your videos thank you

13. First of all, great video, congrats. For all the knots you gave an example on what situation (on the boat) you would use such a knot, but for the sheet bend you haven't. I know that it is used to tie two ropes of different diameter, but in what situation this occurs on a sailing boat? Thanks

14. Ah, and a suggestion, if you can edit this video, I would include the Rolling hitch knot, since it is very useful to transfer the load from one line to another in case, for example, your mainsheet has an override on the winch and you can use a spare line to remove the load while you remove the override. Thanks

15. Everyone knows the reef knot, tying shoes for example, albeit with some extra bites.

16. 1:01 Figure eight 1:48
    2:30 Reef knot
    4:23 Clove hitch
    5:50 Round turn and two half hitches
    7:40 sheet bend
    9:47 bowline

17. Thank you for the video

18. Teaching to my Daughter..these are perfect ❤️

19. Very clear,the most understandable I’ve found. Thanks

20. Of all the knot tutorials I’ve watched yours is by far the easiest follow. Thank you!

21. Yet another brilliant job on informative video

22. Great for skill refreshing after the winter away from the boat

23. Tying knots like these everyday, makes my job as a deckhand intriguing!! and everyday I experiment a new one and gets myself more fascinated to become enthusiastic about my job!!!😁😁😁😁

24. I remember how hard it was for me to fully understand to tie the bowline knot for the first time! But now I know how to tie it with a twist!!😁😁😁

25. I had not heard the story till now. Sweet. I will teach my granddaughter this way! Thank you!

26. The best video I have seen about knots. Thank You. Keep the good work.

27. Hi Marco, I will add that a sheet bend will join any two lines not just different sized line. Also it would be good to point out the wrong bowline with bitter end outside the loop. 
    FYI, Another note is the old knots books are usually based on fibre ropes which have different characteristics to modern ropes. My experience is that quite a few boaters loose the boat from a dock by using the way practised by most USA boaters. This video will explain it correctly.

    Sorry If I mentioned this before, but hopefully I will save someones boat.

28. Not just for sailing, also great when you are doing a Nautical look in your bathroom! 🤪 Thanks so much for the instruction.
    Fair winds and following seas. 😁

29. Thanks for a great video on knots. Someone finally made an easy to follow tying guide, and when and how they can be used. Wonderful job, appreciate it!!

30. A simple clove hitch is not very secure, as it can work itself apart if a fender is moved around by water or wind action. Better to add an additional half hitch.

31. The Rabbit Hole Knot.

32. This seems to be the simplest video on how to tie the knots that are most often used on a sailboat. I have a prospective crew coming soon so I sent her a link to this video to get her started.

33. Great video, when I was taught the bowline 65 years ago in scouts, there was an extra line to the verse with the bunny. It was: "and pull all three". So the instruction was: "Then bunny came out of the burrow, round the tree, went down the burrow and pull all three".

34. Excellent video (and channel!)… Keep them coming!

35. Index
    01:02 Figure eight (stopper knot)
    02:32 Reef Knot (Square knot) (tie two same diameter)
    04:23 Clove Hitch (tie around a pole)
    05:51 Round Turn & 2 Half Hitches (tie life lines)
    07:40 Sheet bend (two lines different diameter)
    09:47 Bowline (will not slip)

36. Silly question…what thickness of rope is that, and where can I get it? Practice rope online seems to always be really skinny and short, and not real rope (or it comes with a built in loop).

37. Best knot video. Thanks for sharing your gift of teaching knot tying and making it easier!

38. Marco, you are really concise, clear and absolutely well explained. A true pleasure to learn from you friend

39. Hey Marco, I am learning all I can about sailing as I am about to buy a boat in the next few months. I was interested in how to heave to and you've answered in one of the vids wonderfully. I had to watch it again cause I really enjoyed your method of presentation, so much so that I have binge watched to this point…, thank you thank you thank you.
