🪢 Know Your Knots | Episode 001

Meet the Bowline Knot, one of the first knots every sailor should know.

Often called the “King of Knots,” the bowline creates a strong, secure loop that won’t tighten under load, making it one of the most reliable and versatile knots on the water.

The easiest way to remember it?

🐰 The rabbit comes out of the hole, runs around the tree, and dives back into the hole.

Save this post for your next sailing adventure, and let us know which knot you’d like to learn next! ⛵

Another great Sunday Keiki Sail in the books! ⛵️

This week, our young sailors learned how to navigate using a hand-bearing compass, taking bearings and learning how mariners find their way across the water.

There’s nothing quite like hands-on learning out on the ocean. Mahalo to everyone who joined us for a day of sailing, seamanship, and adventure! 🌊

Still soaking in the magic from our fundraising gala event!
So grateful for this community and everyone helping us create more access to the ocean for Hawai‘i’s youth. ⛵️🌊

Here’s a recap of our recent sail with ! ⛵️🌊

Such a fun day out on the water, learning the ropes, sharing laughs, and soaking in the experience together.

And to top it off… we even spotted whales. 🐋

Mahalo for joining us, we can’t wait to have you back out again!
