Yes, it's great to have. I have a tough time remembering specific knots, then I found this in downloadable app form for the IPad several years ago, so thereafter even without Internet, I can use the animated step by step process to tie what ever knot I need, no matter where I'm at.

I should probably get the i-app. I can barely tie my shoes. I have to ponder, tie, untie, and retie (frequently more than once) anything more complicated.

I had to pass a Department of Interior practical captain test (written and on-the-water). The guy administering the test said, "You need to be able to tie a bowline in 20 seconds or less."

No problem.

Then he said, "Oh, I meant you have to tie it behind your back."

That was a new one for me, and I just made it. I thought I was done with that part of the test.

Nope.

"You have to tie it behind your back, with your body in the loop."

My mind was racing while I made a bit of small talk to give me some time to think it out. Just made it.

That was the last of the "on land" portion of the test, then we headed out for a "workout" on the water. One of the things I had to do before shoving off was teach a first mate how to tie a rolling hitch.

As a former sailor, I had some working knowledge of the 5 or 6 knots we used most often.

I can see where an animated display would be very handy.

At least he didn't ask you to do it one handed behind your back.

There are reasons for these type of tests. There are times when one cannot see the knot, and have to know how to tie it properly by feel.

Jim, Great job. It sounds like he was really giving you a workout.

I think the 2 knots I use most often are the bowline and the rolling hitch.

The website's animations are the best thing I've ever seen for quickly learning difficult knots. My wife was the officiant at a wedding a few years ago, and as part of the ceremony she had the bride and groom tie a carrick bend, which they learned with relative ease at the Animated Knots site.

To learn which knots to tie, pick up a used copy (for under $5) of Brion Toss's Chapman Knots for Boaters.

Start with the buntline hitch, which Toss calls "the most generally useful Hitch of all."
