@TimCampbellPhD Showoff?! I put this up years ago and it was my first youtube vid. I just learned it from my instructor and wanted to put it up on the internet. If you watch it enough you can learn it I have been told, but if you can't then oh well.
@dice502 With my life.... NO. With a non vital piece of equipment... yea. I've used it and it holds very well. But as I said if you need a knot for lifesaving or anything that you are going to have a person involved then you mustn't use anything else but a regular Bowline.
Very smooth. I went to Alameda for basic (May of 81 Class OC-136) and while we were not tested on this knot it was taught. I love it!
I went straight to AT school after basic and didn't do any boat time so I never used knots but have always had an affinity for them. Tried to learn decorative knots etc. but just never have the time. I can do this flying bowline pretty well but not as smooth as you do here. Thanks for the video.
In a force 10 I would probably have to be tying a one handed bowline because I would be in the water. An no I probably could not do that one in that weather.
we don't want a show-off. we want to learn

@iq201 I think that is why the title is "Flying Bowline".

This has been flagged as spam show
A Bowline is called the King of knots because of its ability to hold maximum weight of the line and still come apart with ease.
This knot you tied will tighten up on itself and you will not get it apart if to much weight is used on the line.
How can anyone give your version the bowline name when it does not do its Job.
I tried your knot and now am having a huge problem with my line
It will not come apart.
Learn the bowline properly NOT this version as a bowline THIS IS NOT A BOWLINE AT ALL!

dude thats not a tug bowline, thats a tugBOAT bowline, get it right, seriousy. Learn your knots.
Aside from that, a lot of knots have several namnes, as they are used differently in different proffecions.
