Ropes Knots
Before the modern rope of today, people probably
used vines, reeds, fibres and leather thongs. When
wool and cotton were spun into yarn and these in
turn into cords, people started to search for better OVERHAND KNOT
material for ropes.
The Overhand Knot is used to make a stop on a rope
Today rope is made from Manila fibre, sisal fibre, end, to prevent the end from fraying or to stop the
hemp or wire. It is also made from nylon and plastic rope from slipping through a sleeve.
which is highly resistant to rot or mildew, but this
does present a problem. In hot weather, it becomes
quite elastic and repeated and cooling damages it.
The best rope is made from hemp. True hemp is
scarce so the better rope is made from Manila fibre. SQUARE KNOT
Sisal is only about two-thirds as strong as Manila. A Square Knot or Reef Knot is tied by holding the two
ends of the rope in the left and right hands. Place the

Rope Care left rope over the right and then the right rope over
the left. It is one of the most common knots.

The life of a rope may be prolonged if it is properly

used and cared for.
1. Keep ropes as dry as possible. Never store a
GRANNY KNOT
rope when it is wet! Natural drying in the sun
is best. The Granny Knot is tied by holding one end of the
rope in the left hand and one end in the right hand.
2. Inspect ropes periodically for signs of damage
Place the left rope over the right making an overhand
along their length. Look at the inside of the rope
knot and then place the left rope over the right again
as well as the outside. The inner fibres should

pulled, the knot will capsize into Two Half Hitches,
3. When not in use, coil a rope and keep it dry. which makes a better knot than the Square Knot.
A regular coil should be clockwise, or to the
right, because of the natural twist in the rope.
To remove a kink when coiled, coil it counter-
clockwise.

on a rope end. To tie a Bowline, grasp the end of a
another single part at the top that nips the end.
rope in the right hand and the standing part in the
left hand. Cross the end of the rope over the standing
part in the left hand, and with a turn of the right
wrist, put a single hitch around the rope end. Without
shifting the grip on the right hand, pass the end of
the rope to the left under the standing part, then DOUBLE BOW KNOT
down the hitch that was first formed.
The Double Bow is the one tied every time one ties
their shoelaces. It should follow the square knot
principle and not the granny.

TWO HALF HITCHES

Two Half Hitches — a quick way in which to tie a knot
to a post is to first form a loose Granny Knot leaving
a long end. As the ship swings, she will take up the
slack and the Granny Knot will capsize into Two Half
SLIP KNOT
Hitches.
The Slip Knot slips but tied properly, becomes tighter
the more one is pulled. Make a bight, and instead of
bringing the end up through it, as in the case of the
overhand, bring a loop through.

CLOVE HITCH
The Clove Hitch is used for securing a rope to a spar.
This hitch, if pulled taut, will not slip up or down on a
smooth surface. A useful start for lashings.
