Welcome sailors!  Please browse our pages and learn about the best mechanical knotmeter ever created. This rugged, simple design has been proven for twenty years in every corner of the globe! From New Zealand to New England long range sailors use Knotstick.

 

We like to say: Electronics for show and Knotstick to know! If you need an instrument to help learn sail trim then read on because Knotstick is better than almost anything else for learning to trim properly. GPS is too slow for seeing small changes in boat speed. Knotstick can make you into a great helmsman. You can learn how to steer your boat through waves and maintain maximum speed. Even some expensive thru-hull electronic meters are damped to the point that they can't show the helmsman anything meaningful.

What a story
A true story about the book "Outward Leg" by Tristan Jones

Knotstick works by measuring the force generated by towing a small calibrated disk. The force is generally 5 to 7 ounces with a maximum of 12 ounces.  Knotstick comes with three interchangeable scales: 0-3, 0-6 0-9 knots. You get an absolutely steady reading in all sea conditions. This is achieved through the use of a special dacron-neoprene tow line.

Knotstick is built entirely in the USA. Each spring is individually sized and checked to assure a permanent accuracy to within 0.2 knots. The resolution is 0.12 knots at any speed above 2 knots. All parts are uv resistant plastic , stainless steel or brass. There are protective black rubber bump guards on both ends. We now have a new hard plastic case that makes stowing the tow line a snap. Just wrap the line around one end of the case and you have a nice neat package ready for next time. Boat yards use Knotstick to calibrate electronic knotmeters.
