HOW TO Coil a Rope | Easy to Untie for Immediate Use on your Boat

[@Soulsilver75]

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!

Really useful.

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rImXi6Vmq8l6fqcsi=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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaiwhqSgbquZe5osi=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.
