![]() Hello folks,
Here's a question that ought to be simple for you with great knowledge of such things, but has baffled my research so far: I was running some new Sta-Set X halyards on my boat and, seeking to secure them until I have time to properly splice them, I attempted to tie a Buntline Hitch. However, it had been a while since I tied the knot and my first execution was, shall we say, different, resulting in the knot shown below. I did recognize my mistake and retied the knots, but it has made me wonder what in the heck I tied the first time and whether or not its useful for anything. So, here it is, if any of you can help shed some light on what it might be I'd appreciate it. I have a feeling its simply an inversion of something, but I can't exactly figure out what. As a note: the entire hitch constricts, much like a buntline hitch or rolling hitch, such that tension on the standing end will slide the bight tighter. ![]() ![]() *** Working on fixing the broken images, give me 5 min ** Thanks very much for your help - I'm quite curious as to whether there is any use for this knot and what it is called.
