How to tie a Bowline with your left hand

Author: captnmike

Help for a left handed person tying a Bowline.  Here is a one page instruction sheet showing how to tie a Bowline with your left hand.

Many places show how to tie a Bowline using your right hand, not so many to help a left handed person tie the Bowline.    A few years ago I taught myself to tie the Bowline using my left hand for classes I teach.  This year I added this handout for my students.  I hope this helps your boating skills.
