      A Knotty Subject

      Feb 7, 2020

      Many readers will be unaware that, a couple of decades ago, the RYA cruising syllabus still specified the ability to whip a rope’s end in a seamanlike manner. I’m sad to report that this quietly disappeared somewhere around 2003. On the whole, the sy

      IN SPITE OF THE GOLDEN Hebridean sun, the rain was coming down hard. “It all depends what you want,” John Docherty said, standing at the window and looking out over the sea. “What do you want?” The question felt like an uncomfortably existential one.

      Avast at Sea

      A Radix and Nelson Jig

      by James Lane
