The RYA Book of Knots will enable you to master over 50 of the most useful knots you will ever need. The knots are divided into groups such as stopper knots, bends, loops and hitches. The clear illustrations show how to tie each knot and for which situations it is most useful. There is a handy indication of which knots are easy to tie quickly in emergencies, and which work best with natural or artificial fibre ropes, and finally advice on securing rope ends.
