Knot Tying Vision
Bight- any bend in-between the ends of the rope which does not cross over itself.
Crossing Point- the point where the rope crosses over itself.
Load- refers to the weight of the object you tie onto, e.g., if you are pulling a log then the log is
the load.
Loop- like a bight but the ends cross over creating a closed circle.
8 Basic Knot
1. Overhand Knot- the simplest knot. Used as a stopper and prevent ropes from fraying.
2. Eight Knot- used as a stopper, prevent ropes from fraying and it’s more secure than thumb
knot. It is also used to tie carabiners to ropes and is often used in rock climbing.
3. Square Knot (Reef knot/Doctor’s knot/Granny Knot) - a reef knot (square knot) is a good
binding knot that’s easy to tie and untie.
4. Slip Knot- used as a grip for pulling things.
5. Sheet Bend (Weaver’s Knot) - is recommended for joining two ropes of unequal size.
6. Sheep Shank- used to shorten the rope but not stable and might fall apart under too much
load.
7. Dog Shank- is a variant of the sheepshank where the eyes formed at each end have the ends of
the rope passed through them to prevent the knot from spilling.
8. Bowline- to tie around things you want to secure/tether, a raft or a person.
Lashing
-Lashings are used to firmly hold together two or more spars (poles, masts, scaffolding,
legs, trestles, etc.).
1. Square Lash- used where the spars under load have a tendency to slide over each other at the
corners.
2. Diagonal Lashing- used where the spars may spring away from each other when under a
load.
3. Sheer Lashing- used where spars have to share a load or for joining two spars end-to-end.
4. Round Lash- It is used to lash two parallel spars together to make a longer one.
Hitching
-A hitch is a type of knot used for binding rope to an object.
1. Timber Hitch- a knot used to attach a single length of rope to a cylindrical object.
2. Clove Hitch- a clove hitch is two successive half-hitches around an object.
