Hi captain. Can you please help me with adjusting the Cunningham, outhaul and kicker for speed in a sailing dinghy? I couldn't find it in the book

Sorry Guy, unfortunately I am not an expert for trimming sails.

Your bowline is actually a cowboy bowline, or left-handed bowline, and is a variation of the official bowline, per ABOK and others. The tail should end up inside of the loop. If you take the working end around the standing end from the right, it will result in the tail resting inside the loop, and you will not end up with the cowboy bowline you've tied here. I say this only because as a newbie learning these, it was frustrating to encounter all the misnamed knots and not be able to know when, if at all, the variation mattered in terms of the functional aspects of the knot. Even tiny variations result in a different knot, i.e. the midshipman v. tautline hitch.

Thank you for your feedback!

I kept trying it your way and came up w/ at least 2 versions, including one that was correct. Embarrassingly, I guess it's all in how you dress it. @@captainsailnator
