[Alberg30] "The Henry Randall Knot"

[Marianne King-Wilson]

You may be pleased to know that here in Parry Sound on Georgian Bay we have been
using the "Henry Randall knot".
It was taught to us by the late owner of A-30 Kaila, our friend Bill Beatty.  He
sailed Kaila in Lake Ontario, Georgian Bay and the Atlantic.  Somewhere, he
learned that knot and he shared it with us.
Does anyone remember Bill?
