As I write this,
senior editor Capt. Patrick Sciacca is standing behind me, explaining
how during the winter months he ties knots in his living room in front
of the tube; he says it’s “therapeutic.” While I’ll
have to take his word on that (my therapeutic experiences generally take
place at the spa), I can tell you that knowing how to tie a variety of
knots is essential on the water, and anyone looking to learn a new knot
for the upcoming boating season or perfect an existing knot-tying technique
will dig this DVD.
Scott’s Knots
is, as its cover says, a clear and concise guide to great knots for everyday
use; it’s hosted by Scott Baker, an avid boater and member of the
International Guild of Knot Tyers and Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary.
The 30-minute DVD takes viewers through the history of knot-tying and
demonstrates some popular (and challenging) knots, hitches, and splices
like the figure 8, bowlin’, reef knot, eye splice, and monkey’s
fist, to name a few.
The video retails for
$19.95 and is available online or in a number of boating stores.
