Opis: Knots Bends - The United States Power Squadrons, The United States Power Squadrons

Cobranded with one of the nation's leading boating educators and richly illustrated with 200 fine drawings, this handy little how-to has something for every mariner. The essentials of the boater's repertoire are here--the bowline, the sheet bend, the clove hitch, etc.--but so are such lesser-known gems as the hawser bend, the cow hitch, and many more.Acknowledgments1.Marlinespike Seamanship: An Introduction2.Marlinespike Seamanship TerminologyParts of a LineBasic Rope ConfigurationsBightTurnJam TurnRound TurnOverhand LoopUnderhand LoopHalf HitchBreaking Strength Versus Working StrengthKnots Weaken RopeKnots, Bends, Hitches, and Splices3.Working with RopeRope MaterialsRope ConstructionLaid RopeSingle-Braid RopeDouble-Braid RopeParallel-Core RopeCommon Rope Uses AboardCutting RopeCold CuttingHeat CuttingJoining RopeUsing HeatUsing GlueDyeing RopeEquipment for Dyeing RopeDyeing MethodLine Ends (Whipping Lines)Seizing LinesCare of LineProper Line StorageMarlinespike Seamanship Tools4.KnotsRope Ends (Stopper Knots)Overhand KnotSlipped Overhand Knot (Slip Knot)Figure-Eight KnotStevedore KnotBlood KnotHeaving Line KnotMonkey's FistLoop KnotsBowlineBowline on a BightSlipped BowlineAngler's Loop (Perfection Knot)Painter's BowlineSpanish BowlineJapanese BowlineThree-Part Crown KnotTrue Lover's Knot (Clover Knot or Cross Knot)Japanese Success KnotJury Mast Knot5.BendsSheet BendDouble Sheet BendBecket Bend (Becket Hitch)Carrick BendHawser BendReef (Square) Knot6.
