The Knot They Say You Should NEVER Tie!!!

The bowline is one of the most popular knots in sailing because it holds well and is quick to tie and untie.

And Dyneema is one of the most popular synthetic lines because it’s stronger than steel.

But Dyneema is slippery and knots can pull right out, so some say you should NEVER tie a bowline in Dyneema.

In this video we strength test a Dyneema bowline and see what happens.
