Great tips. Thanks. All webbing tie downs have to be twisted. Then they won't buzz, slap, wear out, carve holes. Webbing can be incredibly useful and strong. Flat might look nice but it buzzes. A twisted jackline on the deck is also a lot easier to clip on to.
What I learned about knots. You have to practice them in isolation; same with cleat hitches, rolling hitches, flaking lines. Just working with them doesn't seem to do it. You have to just decide, I'm going to tie this knot over and over, then tie it with your eyes closed. Then when I think I've got it, comeback the next day and do it some more. Then a few days later. I find I just tidying up the boat after a sail is good time to practice flaking lines quickly, efficiently, perfectly. And do it over if it's not effortless. This pays dividends later when you need it most.
I always bring some rope. It always gets used for something. And during watches you can practice.

Good instruction James. Direct, easy to follow. I've seen videos where they spend half the video showing you what not to do. We learn what we see and do most. How's that going to work? Or their hand is blocking the key step. Flaking a line? Almost every video I found when I was a noob was junk. Some even showed doing it wrong. A lot of don't do it like this. Let me show you again how not to do it. Instead do it this way. Wait! what just happened?
And I've been on boats with experienced sailors that had more hockles than anything else.

Excellent points. I especially like how you show people to visualize their boat in the dark, in 35 knot wind with waves flying across the deck. Better to visualize than to face the challenges in the storm. Told my kids, "You don't want to learn to sail in a squall." Learn first, then go sail. Thanks James!

Great video, James! Your instructional videos are always on point and easy to understand. I really appreciate the gentle reminders. It would be awesome if you could make a separate playlist for these instructional videos for easy access. Keep up the great work, you're such a patient and knowledgeable sailor. Many thanks for sharing your wisdom with us!

Are you left handed? You should coil lines clockwise not counter clockwise since they have a right hand lay.
Also agree about Ratchet straps but they do make them in stainless instead of mild steel. I have one set I use a lot. Zero problems 4 years now. I also use your “trucker method “ to tie stuff up all the time as well.

The rear pulpit is also reffered to as a pushpit.
