while explaining how to tie some knots to a mate, i found this site. It is an Australian site about boats so might be of interesr to the boat lads, but it also has a good page on knot tying. Hope it is helpful. http://www.marinews.com

I remember, (god knows how many years ago,) when I was 1st getting into climbing (must\'ve been about 14 at the time), I bought a book called \"Knots,Ties and Splices\".
I know it sounds a bit sad for a 14 year old to be absolutley fascinated by the intricate \"structures\" fashioned from ropes, but some of them were incredible creations; way beyoned my capabilities (still are !)

As far as the climbing rope knots I was after learning goes, the book was completely useless.....lol

Glad I bought it, though and I\'ve still got it.

I wonder if seamen still make those intricate \"rope sculptures\" or if it is an art that is no longer needed in todays hi-tech world.
