Before reading on, please take a moment to fill out this week’s survey so we can share your thoughts and experience with the Cruising Compass family.
While on last week’s bo’sun’s skill theme, how many readers have prepared their boats with the spares, tools and plans to rig a jury-rigged mast in a dismasting emergency?
Thanks to all who took the time to answer last week’s Mindbender. We are impressed by the bo’sun’s skills among CC readers. Of the many who answered, a whopping 89% say they came make an eye splice. But that’s not the half of it. 94% can braid triple strand laid line, 67% can braid double-braid, 52% can braid Dynema, and 49% can brail 4-or more stand braided line. Impressive, my friends.
