Captain Karl Saluveer Taught Viewers on Terevisoon How to Tie a Universal Bowline Knot

Captain and ocean voyager Karl Saluveer introduced the bowline knot on the morning programme Terevisoon, a knot considered one of the most useful in the world. The knot can be used to rescue a drowning person, pull a car out of a ditch, and lift heavy objects. Saluveer confirmed that for sailing around the world, knowledge of just this one knot is sufficient.

Captain and ocean voyager Karl Saluveer appeared on ETV's morning programme Terevisoon, where he demonstrated how to tie a bowline knot, a knot considered one of the most important in maritime and survival skills worldwide.

Saluveer explained that the bowline knot is extraordinary in its versatility. It can be used to rescue a drowning person in water, pull a car out of a ditch, and lift heavy loads. As an ocean voyager, he emphasized that the knot is particularly valuable in maritime work, where flexibility and reliability are paramount.

Karl Saluveer added that when sailing around the world, one does not actually need to know dozens of different knots; this one is sufficient. The bowline knot does not tighten under heavy load and does not come undone, which makes it ideal for a wide variety of situations.

The bowline knot is recognized in maritime circles around the world and is part of many countries' maritime and rescue training programmes. Simple to tie yet extremely reliable, the knot is a good example of how an elementary skill can save lives in a crisis.
