popeye2sea Posted March 11, 2024 #2 Posted March 11, 2024 The most complete source is THE ASHLEY BOOK OF KNOTS by Clifford Ashley. Other good sources are THE ARTS OF THE SAILOR by Hervey Garrett Smith and THE YOUNG SEA OFFICERS SHEET ANCHOR by Darcy Lever Regards, Henry paul ron, allanyed, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler !

Bob Cleek Posted March 11, 2024 #3 Posted March 11, 2024 YouTube has a lot of videos on the subject, some better than others: (62) knot tying for ship models - YouTube Also check out YouTube under "surgical instrument tying" and "surgical knot tying with instruments." There are relatively few knots that are requred. Once you've mastered a simple reef or square knot, a half hitch, and a clove hitch, and how to secure a line to a horned cleat you should pretty much have all you need. None are complex knots. You can find all of them demonstrated on YouTube. Gregory, Theodosius, Knocklouder and 1 other 4

robert952 Posted March 14, 2024 #10 Posted March 14, 2024 To be sure the loose ends are all tied up. As pointed out... you only need a few knots. I found this useful as it has the bare essentials mentioned above and a way to practice them.
