Did you know? First rate - Implies excellence. Fro Did you know? First rate - Implies excellence. From the 16th century on until steam powered ships took over, British naval ships were rated as to the number of heavy cannon they carried. A ship of 100 or more guns was a First Rate line-of-battle ship. Second rates carried 90 to 98 guns; Third Rates, 64 to 89 guns; Fourth Rates, 50 to 60 guns. Frigates carrying 20 to 48 guns were fifth and sixth rated. #nauticalknowhow #sailnelsonbc #learntosail #nauticalfun
Penny' Knot of the Week! Rolling Hitch! This one i Penny' Knot of the Week! Rolling Hitch! This one is one of my favourites and I have actually used it several times for winch overrides. It can be tied quickly on another line (ie jib sheet) to help pull and remove tension. Instead of cutting the sheet, this knot can be used to provide the slack needed to untangle everything.

Did you know? Hand over fist - Hand over hand was Did you know? Hand over fist - Hand over hand was a British term for the act of moving quickly up a rope or hoisting a sail, which was a matter of pride and competition among sailors. It is thought that American sailors changed this term to โ€˜hand over fistโ€™, and the term now means to advance or accumulate rapidly. #nauticalknowhow #sailnelsonbc #learntosail #nauticalfun
