In this video, I'll show you how to quickly and easily protect the end of a line from fraying with a makeshift whipping knot. I recently had some damage to the reefing line on my genoa – it broke and had to be replaced. But as a Swabian, I thought it was a shame to throw away the remaining 15-meter piece. So I'll show you how to use a simple whipping knot to make the frayed rope ends neat and durable again. Perfect for sailors, boat owners, or anyone who wants to use their ropes and lines for longer! #sailing #whippingknot #makeshiftwhippingknot #lines #boatmaintenance #sailorknots #sailortips #sailboat #yachtLife #DoItYourself
