- Captain David demonstrates the best method to coil a rope on your boat. This method allows you to easily untie the rope for immediate use. What if there was an emergency and you or your crew member couldn't get the rope untied fast enough? What if you needed a tow? This Royal Navy method will ensure you get the rope untied quickly for any intended use on your boat.
Your rope should be about 30-40' in length and be stowed in a designated place on your boat in case you need it at any moment. Start your coil with a bowline knot (If you needed a tow another boat could easily grab the bowline knot on your rope and put it on their cleat). Hold the bowline end of the rope in one hand and stretch out your other arm holding the rope. Bring the stretched rope back to the other hand and roll it over creating a loop. Continue to do this until the rope is fully coiled. What happens when you get to the end of the rope? Wrap the end of the rope around creating coils at the top while holding tightly. You will need at least 2 or 3 coils. Now create an eye, put it through the gap, pull through and pull tight. You've done it! Now hang it with a clove hitch in the designated area on your boat.

Just want you to know that I’m sitting on a train commuting home from work and practicing my rope management here with you. Thank you!
You got this!

Bad, because you're introducing twists be "rolling it over". When undoing coils like this, you're in trouble because the twists form kinks which gets the rope stuck when running it through something.
It’s fine
@@royalnavyyachtmaster Speaking against your immense experience feels bad and strange, so please excuse me; wish I could simply agree. But, this guy doesn't agree: czcams.com/video/vX4Zr0vdGHE/video.htmlsi=g7QubRy6PEPAWc-5 Also, after I untwisted my furling line (and hang it that way in 8 shape off a winch) it's running smooth now while earlier got stuck quite often times when pulling out the jib. There's the same issue with electrical cables, but with other method: czcams.com/video/swMUqj9FfE8/video.htmlsi=RZMK0nlB3I5r9q2A
@@casybondI believe the difference is that the rope in this video is three strand rope, which has a twist in it. If you coil a double braid rope like is commonly used on sailboat sheets and halyards the way shown in this video, you will encounter the problem you described.
@@farginicehole513 The same twists are made no matter what type or rope is coiled in this way. It just takes longer to mess up a three strand rope.
Really useful.
