Description
| The bowline is an exceptionally versatile knot. It is quick to tie (once you practice), it doesn’t slip and it doesn’t jam. It can be used to attach jib sheets to the jib’s clew. It is a fast way to make a loop, and it can even be used to tie two lines together, though a double sheet hitch is probably preferred. |
