Extra info for On Rope
Sample text
This is often also used where a loop is required midway along a rope as it is quicker to form than a Bowline on the bight. In this situation a simple Figure of Eight knot is tied with a bight of the rope rather than the working end (1 and 2). Where it has to be tied through an eye or ring, or about an object that a loop cannot be slipped over, the method shown in 3 is used. Tie a Figure of Eight with a long working end and then ‘double’ it in the reverse direction with the ring or eye enclosed by a suitable loop in the working end.
To form a Bowline on the Bight take a bight of the line, apply it to the standing part and twist in the normal manner resulting in its sticking up through a turn of the standing part. The protruding ‘ear’ is pulled through, spread out and dropped over the two part main loop. It is brought up above the turn of the standing part and settled down. It then looks just like a doubled Bowline but without the usual end inside the main loop. indd 57 27/06/2013 14:23 58 KNOTS, BENDS AND HITCHES 25 SPANISH BOWLINE 1 2 3 4 The Spanish Bowline, like the Bowline on the Bight, produces two loops enabling it to be used as a substitute bosun’s chair or perhaps for slinging a ladder or plank over the side to form a paint staging.

To form, take a round turn on the samson post then pass a bight under the standing part and drop it down over the top of the post. Take another turn (not a round turn) on the post then again pass a bight under the standing part and drop it down over the post.
