Of all the primitive nodes, this one is perhaps the most original, which is called "you can't imagine it easier". A pull commensurate with the strength of the cable can be applied to the root of the cable of this assembly, and it will hold securely. The greater the thrust, the stronger the free running end is pressed against the hose, the knot tightens itself. This is essentially the simplest form of a noose.

This knot should be used with great care. Always remember that it is reliable only when it is tied around a log and a constant effort is applied to the root end.
If this force is applied to the cable alternately, as if in jerks, then the running end may slip out from under the root end of the cable.

By adding one or two half bayonets to a self-tightening knot, we get more reliable knot, which can be used for various needs in everyday life.

Despite its prosaic name, this knot is considered a good sea knot. It holds without fail if a pull is applied to the cable. The cow knot is actually an incorrect (inverted) bayonet, working in a different capacity.

Since ancient times, this knot has been used on ships for fastening with the help of a line of bleaching to the extreme shrouds, for temporary fastening of the cable to the eye during stretching for cage and trenching. On the shore, in addition to the fact that cows (as well as goats) are really tied to a stake with this knot, it is used when pulling a rope for fences.

If the running and root ends of the cow knot are connected together and traction is applied to both ends, then the knot obtained in this way will already be called a blind loop.

It is sometimes called a tag knot because it is very useful for tying keys together, for holding washers and other items that have a hole, and for wrapping around the neck of a bag when tying it.

This knot got its name due to the fact that on ships they have long been attached to the shrouds of the shrouds - transverse segments of a resinous cable that serve as steps for climbing the masts. The vyblenochny knot consists of two half-bayonets tied in the same direction. This is a very secure pull knot that holds securely as long as the pull is applied to both ends of the cable.
It is extremely useful for attaching cables to smooth surfaces such as a mast, yardarm, boom, or just a log.

In the days of the sailing fleet, in addition to its main purpose, the bleached knot was used to knit the root ends of the marsa-drayreps on the topmast. There are two various ways knitting a vybleknot knot.
The first method is used in cases where one of the ends of the object around which the knot is knitted is open and accessible (a), the second, when the cable has to be carried directly around the object (b).
The range of application of this node in Everyday life very wide. With it, you can attach a rope to a smooth post or crossbar, tie a bag, pull a rope between two posts, tie a bowstring to a bow, moor a boat for a pile or a stake dug on the shore, attach twine to a thick cable.

The vyblenochny knot is very convenient for giving of the tool on height (for example, the hammer working on a mast). When weaving many types of fishing nets, the faded knots form the first row of knitting. However, when using a bleached knot, you should always remember that it is reliable only with constant traction on a cable or rope.
A variation of the bleached knot is the buoy knot, which serves to fasten the buoy to the trend of the Admiralty anchor. In the latter case, the running end of the cable must have a knob and be attached to the anchor spindle with a bout or benzelle.

On sailing ships, this knot found even more use than the bleached one. This is due to the fact that it is even more perfect and more reliable than bleached. It can also be used in cases where the direction of the pull of the cable is at an acute angle to the log or to the cable to which it is attached. The retractable bayonet holds even if the thrust is directed almost along the log.

Unlike the bleached knot, the retractable bayonet has not two, but three hoses covering the object; one on one side of the root end and two on the other. When tying this knot, it is necessary to take into account in which direction the thrust for the root end will be directed, and depending on this, knit the knot. It's easy to remember from which side the thrust is - - there are two hoses.

Once upon a time, a retractable bayonet in the navy was used to lift spars up if the cable had to be tied in their middle. They knitted the ends of proudes when climbing the yards of fox spirits. They also tied a block with a sweater to a yard and to fox-alcohol.

The ends of the embossing of the spiers were fastened with a whistle also with the help of a retractable bayonet. When the boats stood near the side of the ship on a pendant, on a backboard, or were towed, they were tied with painters to the can with the same retractable bayonet. When using this knot in everyday life, one should not forget that, like the knotted knot, it is reliable only under load and does not like sharp weakening.

Constrictor

Constrictor

"Boa constrictor" is the Latin zoological name for the boa constrictor. Snakes such as the boa constrictor, python, and anaconda are known to kill their prey by squeezing it with three loops of their body. The knot, known worldwide by this name, is one of the most tightly tightened knots.

At the same time, it is considered one of the most difficult knots to untie. As a rule, it is not even untied, it serves once. "Constrictor" tightens well if it is tied to round objects that do not have sharp corners. In this case, it is irreplaceable. This is a very useful and important node for our life.
With it, you can, for example, tie a bag very tightly, the valve of a soccer ball chamber, compress a leaking rubber hose, tighten a rolled carpet, a bag, a wadded blanket, tie a bully's hand; put a tourniquet on the wounded limb and much more.

With the help of this amazing knot, you can lift the carcass of a dead bear without damaging its skin. To do this, you need to take a draek or a short, strong stick, put it into the mouth of the beast, by its fangs, and tie the mouth with a stick with a "constrictor". Attach its ends to a hook or cargo pendant. Professional riggers use a "constrictor" to place temporary marks on the steel cable where it needs to be cut. In this way, they prevent the cable from self-unwinding until permanent wire marks are applied.

Just as a python is almost no different from a boa constrictor, so this knot does not differ much from a "constrictor". In principle, they are similar. The Python knot is applicable for the same cases as the "constrictor". In addition, it can be very useful for tying two cross rails (b).

Their connection with this knot will be much stronger than on nails. For example, it is convenient to tie the wooden slats of a kite with a python knot. It can be used in the construction of a wicker fence, when one rope needs to be tied to another at a right angle.

This knot is simple, original and reliable. Under constant load, it holds up well. Apparently, it got its name due to the fact that it was used in mines.

And although it is not considered a sea knot, it can be successfully used both on land and at sea.

The name itself already indicates that he is from a family. In our time, it has already been forgotten, apparently because the need for it has disappeared.

You can always use it in everyday life when it becomes necessary to quickly attach the cable to some object. cylindrical shape.

On sailing ships, foxes were called additional sails, which were placed on each side of the direct sails on special spar trees - fox spirits.

With this knot, the fox was laced with pins to the fox-rail. Although the fox knot is no longer used in the navy, it can be used to attach a cable to a round spar.

On a sailing ship, straight sails, which were placed between the mars-ray and the lower yard, were called marseilles. Depending on which mast the sail belonged to, it took the name "main topsail" on the main mast, or "fore topsail" on the fore mast. The tackle with which the yards of these sails were raised was called the main-marsa-fal and the fore-marsa-fal.

These tackles were attached to the yard with a halyard knot. Like the fox knot, the halyard knot is considered a reliable maritime knot. It can do a good job in our everyday life.

If you need to tie a thin rope to another thicker rope for pulling at any angle, we recommend using this amazing knot.

When properly tied, it does not slip either to the left or to the right. It is always easy to untie it even if it gets wet and dragged on a lot.

When performing various ship work on the deck, it sometimes becomes necessary to hold the cable under tension. This is done with another cable attached with a stop knot to the cable to be restrained.

If the pull of the cable to be stopped is to the right, then the running end of the locking cable is placed on top of the cable with a hose to the left, then another hose is made and the running end of the locking cable is led towards the first and second hoses, clamping them, and then to the right around the cable in a twist, making one or two more hoses, and in two or three places they put strong contractions or fix them “under themselves”.

When arranging a swing on your own, the choice of a cable and a knot with which this cable will be attached to the crossbar is of great importance. The reliability of your homemade structure mainly depends on this. If you decide to make a swing in the country or in the courtyard of your house, do not look for another knot.

The name of the node is the best match to its shape. When knitting this knot, the running end passes, as it were, in zigzags in one direction or the other. The zigzag knot is very specific. It is mainly used for pulling and securing a high stack of cargo in an open box. truck equipped with high racks.

If, for example, several hundred light boxes are to be transported on such a truck, they must first of all be securely fastened. This can be done with a long rope using a zigzag knot. It is best to fasten the rope around the truck legs by holding a coil of rope in your hand, otherwise you will have to pull the entire length of the rope each time.

About a hundred years ago, in the sailing fleet, without this knot, the implementation of many shipboard works would have been simply unthinkable. A noose with half-bayonets, along with a retractable bayonet, was used on ships to lift up spars - topmasts, yards, gaffs, etc.
She tied logs in the water for towing, she was used to load objects cylindrical in shape, loaded rails and telegraph poles. The same knot was used to fasten the root ends of the mars-sheets, mars-git and other gear, where it was necessary to have the ends ready for a quick return.

A noose without half-bayonets was often used to fasten the mooring line behind the coastal fell. This knot, proven by centuries of experience at sea, has long been used ashore.
It is widely used by lumberjacks. On many foreign languages the name of this node is "forest node" or "log node". The noose with half bayonets is a reliable and very strong knot, which is extremely tightened around the object being lifted. The running end of the cable must be passed over the root end inside the loop towards the object being clamped.
After the loop is surrounded by the running end 3-4 times, it is taken out of the loop and towards the far end, from which there will be traction. At the same time, it is very easy and simple to untie it when the pull on the cable stops.

In order to lift a tree trunk of several tons or a heavy metal pipe without risk to human life, it is not necessary to have any special rigging devices for a crane.
You can perfectly manage with a vegetable cable of appropriate strength or steel. But for this you need to be able to properly tie this knot. It should always be knitted a little away from the middle of the log (pipe).
Having brought the running end of the cable out of the loop that makes up the knot, it is pulled towards the end of the object being lifted, from which there will be traction, and two half bayonets are made. But, as a rule, two half-bayonets are made before the knot is knitted, since the root end of the tackle is already fixed (b). The slack in the cable between the choke and half bayonets must be taken out before lifting.

Having lifted the object with a crane, it is better to deliver it to the place in one go, without lowering it to the ground. It should always be remembered that this knot must be checked before each lift (if it is carried out in two steps).
It is also important in which direction to make half-bayonets on the log. They should be laid along the descent of the cable. Lifting heavy objects with a noose without half bayonets is considered dangerous.

The cow knot is another type of friction knot used to tie the end of a rope around a support or objects.

The cow knot got its name presumably due to the fact that they were often tied to livestock, but the knot itself is used not only in the household, but also in the navy, where it is also known as a lanyard knot or a blind loop. Among other alternative names, it is worth noting: cow hitch, girth hitch, lark's head knot.

The cow knot is closely related to and, and quite often it turns out when both of these knots are knitted incorrectly, which is why, in fact, we decided to include it in our Knots and Weaves section so that you can easily identify it.

How to knit a cow knot with a running end

If you intentionally want to tie a cow knot, then this is done as follows:

With a constant load, the cow knot is quite reliable, because. tightly covers the fixed object, does not slip and does not move. For this reason, it is often used when tying objects with closed loops of rope or sling, such as when creating anchor points (anchor points) for abseiling. The more you load such a loop, the more it grabs around the object or support. Also quite often I happened to knit it with the running end forward when weaving simple nets, which I already mentioned in a publication on paracord.

In addition, a cow knot can be knitted not only with the running end forward, but also with rope loops, which we will pay attention to in.

Bowline . (photo: brig-club.ru)

People not familiar with nautical terminology may think that the name " gazebo knot" comes from the verb "to talk" or from the noun "arbor". In the marine language, the name of this node comes from the "arbor", but not from the usual, but from the marine arbor, which is a small wooden board - a platform that serves to lift a person onto mast or lowering overboard during painting or other work.This board with the help of cables is attached to the lifting cable with a special knot, which is called the gazebo knot.Its second name is bowline.It comes from the English term "bowline", which means tackle, which is pulled the windward leech of the lower straight sail.This tackle is knitted to the leech of the sail with a bowline knot, or simply a bowline.

This is one of the oldest and most amazing knots ever invented by man. Archaeologists testify that the gazebo was known to the ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians for 3000 years BC. The arbor knot, despite its amazing compactness, simultaneously contains elements of a simple knot, half-bayonet, weaving and straight knots. The elements of all these nodes in a certain combination give the gazebo node the right to be called universal. It is surprisingly easy to knit, even with strong traction it never tightens "tightly", does not spoil the cable, never slides along the cable, does not untie itself and is easily untied when needed. The main purpose of the gazebo is to tie a person with a cable under the armpits as a means of insurance when climbing to a height, lowering overboard or in a smoky room during a fire on board a ship. You can insert a gazebo into the non-tightening loop of this knot.

The easiest knitting method. Always in life. the ability to quickly tie a bow knot around your waist can come in handy. You need to be able to do this with one hand with one continuous movement of the brush, in the dark, in 2 - 3 seconds. It's not hard to learn this at all.

Take the root end of the cable in your left hand, with your right hand encircle the running end behind you around your waist. Take the running end in your right hand and, stepping back about 10 centimeters from its end, hold it in your fist. Take the root end in the left hand and stretch the left hand forward. Now, having the root end of the cable slightly taut, with the right brush with the running end clamped in it, go around the root end of the cable from top to bottom towards you and up away from you. Try to make such a movement with the brush so that it does not completely fall into the loop. Next, wrap the running end around the stretched root end to the left, intercept it with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand. Pulling the right hand out of the loop, simultaneously push the running end into the small loop. Holding the running end with the right hand, pull the root end with the tape. After doing this several times in a row, you will learn how to tie a bow knot on yourself, in the dark or with your eyes closed. Imagine the following situation: you are out of the ship in the water, you are thrown from the deck of the end, along which you will not be able to climb up, because it is slippery. By tying a harness knot around your waist and moving the resulting armpit loop, you can ensure that you are safely pulled out of the water onto the deck. This magnificent knot has saved the lives of sailors more than once. To untie the gazebo knot, it is enough to slightly move the loop of the running end along the weakened root of the cable.

Works just like a regular bowline. It is used in cases where it is necessary to tie two loops at one end at once. For example, lifting an injured person. Then the victim's legs are threaded into loops, and a half-bayonet is knitted around the chest under the armpits with the root end. then the person will not fall out anywhere, even if he is unconscious.

Knot "eight".

"Eight" . (photo: brig-club.ru)

This knot is considered a classic. It forms the basis of a dozen other, more complex nodes for various purposes. In the form in which it is shown here, this knot in maritime affairs serves as an excellent stopper at the end of the cable so that the latter does not splash out of the block pulley. Unlike a simple knot, even with strong traction, it does not spoil the cable and can always be easily untied. To tie the figure eight, it is necessary to encircle the running end of the cable around the main one and then pass it into the loop formed, but not immediately, as in a simple knot, but first winding it behind itself. This knot can be applied to the rope handles of a wooden pail or bucket if the rope passes through the two holes on the protruding ends of the wooden staves. In this case, after threading the rope through both holes, at its ends, on the outer sides, the rivets are tied in a figure-eight. With two figure eights, you can securely attach the rope to the children's sled. To prevent the hand from slipping off the end of the dog leash, we advise you to tie a figure eight. In addition, it serves well for attaching strings to the tuning pegs of violins, guitars, mandolins, balalaikas and other musical instruments.

The figure-eight knot is very easy to knit and can be done with just one hand.

1. Perform the first stick.
2. Then pass the running end under the root.
3. Pass it through the first peg and tighten the knot.

Dagger Knot. Knot for tying two cables or ropes.

It is considered one of the best knots for tying two large diameter cables. It is not very complicated in its scheme and is quite compact when tightened. It is most convenient to tie it if you first lay the running end of the cable in the form of a figure of the number 8 on top of the main one. After that, thread the elongated running end of the second cable into loops, pass it under the middle intersection of the figure eight and bring it out over the second intersection of the first cable. Next, the running end of the second cable must be passed under the root end of the first cable and inserted into the figure-eight loop, as the arrow indicates. When the knot is tightened, the two running ends of both cables stick out in different directions. The dagger knot is easy to untie if one of the extreme loops is loosened.

Archaeological finds indicate that the Egyptians used it about three thousand years before our era. The ancient Greeks and Romans called it Nodus Hercules - the Herculean or Hercules knot, because the mythical hero Hercules tied the front paws of the skin of the lion he had killed on his chest. The Romans used the straight knot to stitch wounds and heal broken bones. It consists of two half-knots, sequentially tied one on top of the other in different directions. This is the usual easiest way to knit it. Sailors, who have been using this knot since ancient times to tie cables, use a different knitting method. Weavers who use a straight knot to bind broken threads of yarn tie it in their own way, in a special, convenient way for them.

With heavy loads on the tied cables, as well as when the cables get wet, the straight knot is strongly tightened. How can a straight (reef) knot be untied, which is so tightened that it cannot be untied and will have to be cut. A straight knot, even wet and tightly tightened, is untied very simply, in 1 - 2 seconds.

Take ends A and B in your left hand, and ends C and D in your right hand. Pull them strongly in different directions and tighten the knot as tight as possible. After that, take the root end A in your left hand (so that it does not slip out of the hand, make a couple of hoses around the palm). Take the running end B in your right hand (you can also wrap it around your palm.). Pull the ends sharply and strongly in different directions. Without releasing end A from your left hand, hold the rest of the knot in your fist with your right hand, holding it with your thumb and forefinger. Pull root end A to the left side - the knot is untied. The whole secret lies in the fact that when the ends of A and B are jerked in different directions, the straight knot turns into two half-bayonets and completely loses all its properties. It is also easily untied if you take the root end D in your right hand and pull the running end B strongly to the left. Only in this case, the end of G must then be pulled to the right, and the rest of the knot (half bayonets) to the left. When untying a straight knot in this way, remember that if you pulled the running end to the right, pull the root to the left and vice versa. When untying a straight knot, one should not forget that with what force it was tightened, it is necessary to pull one of its running ends with the same force.

Fishing bayonet, anchor knot.

A very reliable node.
One of the most critical cases of using a knot in maritime business is tying an anchor rope to an anchor. For five thousand years of the existence of shipping, people for this purpose could not come up with a more reliable knot than this one. Proven by centuries of experience in maritime practice, this knot is recognized by sailors of all countries as the most reliable for attaching a rope to an eye or to an anchor bracket. The fishing bayonet (or anchor knot) is somewhat similar to a simple bayonet with a hose. It differs from it in that the first of the two half-bayonets passes additionally inside the hose that wraps around the object. When using this knot for anchoring, it is always necessary to grab the running end with a scrum to the root. In this case, even with a very strong pull, the fishing bayonet does not tighten and holds securely. It is fashionable to safely use it in all cases when working with cables, when they are subject to strong traction.

This knot is also called the scaffold or "hanging" knot. But despite this, it also finds other uses in maritime affairs. It is used for temporary fastening of a cable for objects floating in the water or for throwing and fastening a cable for any object on the shore. This knot has an advantage even over such a good knot as a half-bayonet garrote, in that the running end of the cable cannot slip out of the loop, and therefore a tightening garrote is considered more reliable. On sailboats, this knot was used to fasten the root ends of the mars-sheets and mars-git and other gear in cases where it was necessary to have these ends ready for recoil. To tie this knot, the cable is laid in the form of two loops of the same size. Both loops are surrounded several times with the running end of the cable, after which this end is passed into the loop facing the root of the cable, and, pulling out the extreme loop, they are clamped in it. A tightening noose can always be easily untied by pulling on the root of the cable. This gloomy knot can be used well in maritime affairs in two ways. Firstly, according to the scheme of its knitting, it is convenient to store the cable in the form of a compact bay. By making this knot without a loop at the running end of the throwing end, you will get excellent heaviness. If you find it not heavy enough, dip it in water before use.

It has long been considered one of the most reliable knots for tying cables of different thicknesses. They even tied anchor hemp ropes and mooring lines. Having eight weaves, the flat knot never tightens too much, does not creep and does not spoil the cable, since it does not have sharp bends, and the load on the cables is evenly distributed over the knot. After removing the load on the cable, this knot is easy to untie. The principle of a flat knot lies in its shape: it is really flat, and this makes it possible to choose the cables connected by it on the drums of capstans and windlasses, on the welps of which its shape does not interfere with the even overlap of subsequent hoses.

In marine practice, there are two options for knitting this knot: a loose knot with tacking of its free running ends to the root or half-bayonets at their ends and without such a tack when the knot is tightened. A flat knot tied in the first way (in this form it is called a Josephine knot) on two cables of different thicknesses almost does not change its shape even with very high traction and is easily untied when the load is removed. The second knitting method is used for tying thinner than anchor ropes and mooring lines, cables, with the same or almost the same thickness. At the same time, it is recommended to first tighten the tied flat knot with your hands so that it does not twist with a sharp pull. After that, when a load is given to the connected cable, the knot crawls and twists for some time, but, having stopped, it holds firmly. It is untied without much effort by shifting the loops covering the root ends. As already mentioned, a flat knot has eight intersections of cables and, it would seem that it can be tied in different ways, there are 256 different options for tying it. But practice shows that not every knot from this number, tied according to the principle of a flat knot (alternating intersection of opposite ends from under and over), will hold securely. Ninety percent of them are unreliable, and some are even dangerous for tying cables designed for strong traction. Its principle depends on changing the sequence of intersection of the connected cables in a flat knot, and it is enough to slightly change this order, as the knot receives other negative qualities. Before putting this knot into practice for any responsible business, you must first remember exactly its scheme and tie the cables exactly along it without any, even the most insignificant deviations. Only in this case, the flat knot will serve you faithfully and will not let you down.

Tight knots.

Self-tightening knot . Of all the primitive knots, this one is the most original. A pull commensurate with the strength of the cable can be applied to the root of the knot cable, and it will hold securely. The greater the thrust, the stronger the free running end is pressed against the hose, the knot tightens itself. This knot should be used with great care. Always remember that it is reliable only when it is tied around a log and a constant effort is applied to the root end. If these efforts are applied in jerks, then the running end may slip out from under the root end of the cable. It is convenient for them to hang bags with cereals, etc. (Fig. 44)

Self-tightening knot with half bayonet . By adding one or two half bayonets to a self-tightening knot, you get a reliable node, which is useful for various needs in everyday life. (Fig. 45)

cow knot . This node is an inverted bayonet, working in a different capacity. (Fig. 46)

blind loop . If the running and root ends of the cow node connect together and apply traction to both, then the resulting knot will be called a blind loop. (Fig. 47)

Clove hitch . It consists of two half bayonets tied in the same direction. This is a very reliable node. Convenient for attaching cables to objects that have a smooth surface: mast, yardarm, boom or log. (Fig. 48)

retractable bayonet . It can be used when the direction of the cable pull is at an acute angle to the log (mast, yardarm) to which it is attached. The retractable bayonet holds even if the thrust is directed almost along the mast. When tying this knot, it is necessary to take into account in which direction the thrust for the root end will be directed, and depending on this, knit a sea knot. It will be easy to remember: on which side the thrust is - there are two hoses. (Fig. 49)

"Constrictor" . "Boa constrictor" is the Latin zoological name for the boa constrictor. Knot with this name is one of the most tightly tightened knots. As a rule, it is not untied - it serves once. This knot it tightens well if tied to round objects. The riggers use a "constrictor" to place temporary marks on the steel cable where it needs to be cut. In this way, they prevent the rope from self-unwinding until permanent wire marks are applied. (Fig. 50)

Double "constrictor" . This maritime knot is more difficult than described, but it tightens even more. (Fig. 51)

Python knot . Just as a python is almost no different from a boa constrictor, so this knot does not differ much from a "constrictor". This knot applies to the same cases as the previous one. In addition, it can be useful for tying two transverse rails (Fig. 52 b). (Fig. 52 a)

miner's knot . Simple, original and reliable. Under constant load, it holds up well. This marine knot can be used not only in maritime affairs. (Fig. 53)

picket knot . This knot is somewhat reminiscent of a bleached one. Used for the same purpose. (Fig. 54)

hafel knot . This knot it is used when there is a need to quickly attach a cable to some object of a cylindrical shape. (Fig. 55)

fox knot . On sailing ships, foxes were called additional sails, which were placed on each side of the direct sails on special spars - fox spirits. This sea ​​knot the fox was laced with curtains to the fox-rail. (Fig. 56)

halyard knot . On the sailing ship straight sail, which were placed between the Mars-Ray and the lower Ray, were called Marseilles. Depending on which mast the sail belonged to, it was called "main topsail" on the main mast or "fore topsail" on the fore mast. The gear with which the yards of these sails were raised was called the main-marsa-fal and fore-marsa-fal. These tackles were attached to the yard with a halyard knot. Like the fox knot, the halyard knot is considered reliable sea ​​knot. (Fig. 57)

pike knot . It, like the two previous ones, serves to attach the cable to cylindrical objects. (Fig. 58)

camel knot . This knot is used when you need to tie a thin rope to another thicker rope for pulling at any angle. It always unties easily. (Fig. 59)

Stop knot . When performing various ship work on the deck, it sometimes becomes necessary to hold the cable under tension. This is done with another cable attached with a stop knot to the cable to be restrained. (Fig. 60)

swing knot . When installing a swing, the choice of cable and the knot that will be attached to the crossbar is of great importance. This knot is perfect. (Fig. 61)

Zigzag knot . When knitting this maritime knot the running end runs as if in zigzags. It is used to secure a high stack of cargo. It is best to fasten the rope around some kind of racks, holding a skein in your hand. (Fig. 62)

paly knot . This simple marine knot is very convenient for fastening the painter of a boat or boat to a fell, bitten or bollard. To properly tie it, the running end of the painter must be folded in half, enclose the fell on the side, skip the loop under both ends and throw it on top of the fall. (Fig. 63)

Bit node . This knot also serves for mooring small boats. The running end of the painter or mooring line is wrapped around the biteng, then folded in half with a loop and passed under the root end. Here the loop is twisted once by 180 degrees and put on top of the biteng. (Fig. 64)

Noose with half bayonets . One hundred years ago in sailing fleet without this maritime hub, the execution of ship work would be unthinkable. This knot was used to lift spars - topmasts, yards, gaffs, etc. It was also used to fasten the root ends of the mars-sheets, mars-gits and other gear, where it was necessary to have ends ready for quick return. The noose with half bayonets is a reliable and durable knot that is tightly tightened around the object being lifted. The running end of the cable must be passed over the root end inside the loop towards the object being clamped. After the loop is surrounded by the running end 3-4 times, it is taken out of the loop towards the far end, from which there will be traction.
