This book was recommended to us by the technical director of Opera North. We investigated and have come to the conclusion that it is indeed the best knot and splice book available. It is a convenient size with a plastic outer cover so it should fit well in the rigging box.

This handy reference book covers all the knots and whippings in common use and concentrates on the modern
synthetic ropes.

ISBN: 0713667109

Small enough to keep in your back pocket to avoid embarrassing moments when confronted with a dangling
rope and a stage weight.

[Gordon Perry and Steve Judkins ]

Although written and beautifully illustrated by Steve Lucas with the boating fraternity in mind, the content is applicable to a much wider readership. Structured to guide everyone from a complete beginner to a seasoned
sailor step by step through simple knots on to the advanced skills required to make a Turk’s Head or Star Knot.
