The five most commonly used sea knots are:
- The knot in eight to finish a rope
- The chair knot to make a loop (also called an eye)
- The capstan knot to dock on a dick or a line
- The cleat knot to bridle a sheet or a mooring line
- The dead trick and two half-keys to tie up everything easily
These five knots are very simple to make as we explain in the image for each one. Practice doing it with your eyes closed, it can be useful in case of emergency or at night!
