Marlinspike is the art of knot tying. It is a craft used by sailors, fishermen, and boaters alike. These individuals use the knots to tie boats up to piers, tow cargo, and/or bait hooks. Tying knots and working with rope, called a line, requires skill learned over time and with much practice. Many practice blindfolded in order to improve and perfect their knot-tying skills as it is essential to a boater's safety.
