Features Include:
-Three-dimensional animation that can be played in real time, slow motion, and controlled with a slider bar for easy understanding.
- Clear and detailed video demos of each knot and splice from the editors at Sailing World add another dimension of learning to the skill of tying a “Sheet Bend” or creating a “3 Strand Eye Splice.”
