Boating Knots

Here is a fun way to involve the young crew by teaching Boating Knots.

A few of the knots the site teaches are:

• bowline
• sheet bend
• figure 8
• bowline on a bight
• cleat hitch
• rolling hitch

You can give each person a piece of line and follow along on the animated instructions.

Visit Grog's Boating Knots to teach the children the use of knots and how to tie them.
