Know your Knots! We're running a Thursday Tips series to help you master those knots: The Bowline Knot is a good place to start... In the world of yachting, the Bowline reigns supreme. It's essential for forming a secure, fixed loop at the end of a rope. This makes it perfect for tasks like attaching halyards or sheets. The Bowline is cherished for its combination of strength and simplicity. It holds steadfast, even under tension, yet it's surprisingly straightforward to untie. This balance makes it an indispensable tool in a variety of maritime scenarios. This knot's a sailors staple... its versatility is renowned. From setting sails to quick adjustments, the Bowline is a skill every sailor values. It's often one of the first knots learned and remains a constant in a sailor's repertoire. Click here for the 'How To' step by step: https://lnkd.in/dj-qgMrU Can you throw a bowline? How about throw a bowline blindfolded like Andy in the video below?

🌊🤿 PADI Buddy Check: Safety First! 🤿🌊 Before your dive, remember the BWRAF check to ensure safety: B - BCD/Buoyancy: Confirm all connections are secure and test the inflator/deflate valves. Dry suit divers should check their inflator hose. W - Weights: Ensure weights are secure and easy to release in an emergency. Check weight pockets and belts! R - Releases: Verify all fastenings are secure and inform your buddy how to release them in an emergency. A - Air: Don’t skip this! Check the cylinder valve is open, breathe from both second stages, and ensure gauges are working. F - Final Check: Gather your gear, secure loose items, and do a head-to-toe check with your buddy. Stay safe and dive smart! 🌊 #PADI #BuddyCheck #DiveSafe #UnderwaterAdventure

𝙊𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙡 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙢: 𝙐𝙥𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙫𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙙 🌬️ Sail trim is perhaps the single most important factor in boat performance. Whether you’re a weekend dinghy sailor or you sail on a 100-ft maxi, adjusting sail shape to maximise the wind that you have at your disposal is the name of the game. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? Sail trim is fundamentally about optimising the load running through your rigging and sails. But at any given wind angle, optimal loading on different elements of your rig is totally different. So, let’s take a look at how to nail the dynamic balance of loading – unlocking optimal sail shape and maximum boat speed: 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8dJ_W3P #SmartSailing .... #sailing #boat #sailingboat #yacht #yachting #sailinglife

It Took One Hand to Uncover This Mystery This case had our diving team inspecting the base of spun pile pillars that were alleged to have collapsed during a windstorm (the go-to excuse, right?). But here’s the thing, if you check out the video, you’ll see a small guy like me shaking one of the still-standing pillars with just one hand, no effort at all. Now, unless I’m secretly a mutant with superstrength (which I’m definitely not, opening a ketchup bottle for my wife is about my limit!), it’s pretty clear that the foundation of this pillar was severely weakened. The root cause? A lack of maintenance. These pillars, driven into the seabed, are constantly subjected to erosion from changing currents and water movement. Just like how sand shifts around your feet at the beach, the seabed around these pillars erodes over time, weakening their stability. Regular reinforcement is a must, but it wasn’t done in this case, leading to the inevitable failure. #ForensicEngineering #StructuralIntegrity #MaintenanceMatters #DivingTeam #EngineerLife #AGI_Engineers
