Hello,
As the title reads, I have started sailing a hobie cat, and realize that knots are useful, but I don't know what knots I need to learn to do certain things. So first question is what is a good book to have as a reference to help in the future. One that looks good is the "Complete Rigger's Apprentice", but any suggestions? Second part of question is what knots would be good for the following situations; 1) Tying down stuff, such as sail bag to trailer, mast to trailer, etc. 2) Tying down an end of a rope that is under tension, such as lets say I have a flag pole and a rope tied to top, I pull on rope till pole is vertical now I want to tie rope but do not want to loosen rope to tie, assuming pole can only move in one direction.
Thanks,
CP
