Sailing Adventure Side Tear Checks

The Bitter End

No, we're not trying to put a damper on your favorite sailing fantasy!

While researching sail boats, we learned a new definition for the term "bitter end."

We thought it simply meant the last of a bad situation, but we were wrong!

It seems "bitter end" also refers to the end of a rope that is tied fast to a vessel, as opposed to the "working end," which is attached to an anchor or some other piece of gear.

But uh-oh, let's say you need that rope for something else and it's tied too tight. What then?

Time to reach for your trusty "marlinspike," that pointed tool made just for prying open stubborn knots.

"Marlinspike" -- that's a sailing word we really like!

Now allow us to round out this crash course by telling you that Sailing Adventure Side Tear Checks are perforated on the short side for a trouble-free tear. Smooth sailing, indeed, matey! Order now!
