Important Knots

This page shows the knots which are most important for efficient sailing etc. The individual pages behind the icons show the art of tying knots. Most of them are quite commonly used aboard Enchantress or related to sea-fishing. All the knots are animated and hence move by themselves, showing you how they are constructed.
