Knot-on-Knot
A ‘knot-on-knot’ is useful for tying the end of a rope to a sail or a fitting, and is
particularly reliable due to the manner in which the rope binds upon itself.
Tie a single overhand knot in the end of the
rope. Feed the rope through the sail or the
fitting, and tie another overhand knot in the rope.
Pull the rope tight so that the rope binds on the
original overhand knot.
Figure-of-Eight
The ‘figure-of-eight’ knot is used as a stopper knot, preventing ropes from
slipping through fittings. Like the bowline, the ‘figure-of-eight’ knot unties
easily once free of load.
Make a loop in the end of the rope
Lead the tail underneath the standing end of the
rope
Lead the tail of the rope back through the loop,
and tighten
