How to tie a figure eight knot - video

This video is more than that, it is Part 20 of an ongoing series. But you have to listen to what the kid says around the 5:00 mark.

Hilarious!

I'm running the first day of an adult "Learn To Sail Keelboats" course tomorrow which includes "Ropes and Knots". About 50% female participants.

Do you think I should teach that method?

Great to see some old sailor traditions are still alive!

No need to "log on" here.
Either way one wouldn't want to "sign up" to be able to view that video.

Re: How to tie a figure eight knot - video

Well after seeing that it will take me at least twice as long to tie a figure 8, probably longer. The recollection chuckle, wipe tears from the eyes, tie knot .... go and share it again to someone I've just thought of ...
