Most underbowsprit nets that I've seen are about 1/4" or larger
line spaced at about 6" intervals. This is so you can stand on
it and/or wrap your foot around it for extra security.

If Ashley's book of knots doesn't have instructions about netting,
then it would be a great question for Brion Toss on the
Spartalk section of his web site www.briontoss.com

Hi,
I'd like to learn how to assemble (Knot?) some cargo netting for my
bowsprit
on my Westsail 32. Are there any good resources for learning how to do
this?
It's kind of like macrame to me and I'd like to learn how to do it. It
would
be a nice barrier to prevent the headsail from going into the briny, as
well
as possibly saving a crewmember from doing the same.

Thanks, if you have any ideas,
Mark
