Sailor Knots teaches you the ten essential sailing knots – including all knots required for the German recreational boating licence (SBF) – as real 3D animations, tied exactly the way you tie them by hand. STEP BY STEP Every knot is broken down into short, easy steps. Play the animation continuously or one step at a time, scrub back and forth and choose the speed that suits you. REAL 3D Rotate the knot in any direction and zoom in to see exactly which part goes over and which goes under. AUGMENTED REALITY Place the knot at real size on your table and lay your own rope next to it – the fastest way to learn. THE KNOTS • Figure Eight • Bowline • Reef Knot • Sheet Bend • Double Sheet Bend • Clove Hitch • Rolling Hitch • Round Turn & Two Half Hitches • Slipped Half Hitch • Cleat Hitch Each knot comes with typical uses on board and practical tips. FOR ALL DEVICES Optimised for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo – in portrait and landscape. On iPhone Duo in tabletop pose the animation plays on top while the controls sit comfortably on the lower half. PRIVACY No ads, no tracking, no account. The app works completely offline. To practise you need a rope about 1.5 m long and 1 cm thick. Have fun – and fair winds!
