  • Choose a sensible rope for a yacht job by matching the required behaviour to the material, construction, diameter, fittings, condition and maker's data.
  • Inspect a working line and organise a loaded-line task so damage, bights, recoil, poor leads and unclear communication are controlled before the line is loaded.
  • Select an essential knot from the job it must do, then dress, set and check it instead of trusting the knot's name or an untensioned shape.

A self-guided revision companion that explains essential concepts, then helps you practise and test them. It supports—but does not replace—recognised instruction, practical training, assessment or certification. Access is a one-time payment, not a subscription.
