This is one of the most useful knots to know. Used for tying loop at the end of a rope. If you can tie this knot there is no knot you can’t master. 2 Bowline on the bight This is a rescue knot. Probably the trickiest knot to get right. Great care must be taken when tightening this knot. Always make sure loops are the correct size to go under arms and legs. 3 Clove Hitch This knot is usually used to start off a lashing. Except for this use it is necessary that there is an equal pull on each end of the hitch. 4 Double Sheet Bend This knot is like the sheet bend except for it has an extra turn. Used for tying two ropes of unequal thickness together. 5 Figure of Eight Knot The 2 most popular kinds of stopper knots are the figure of eight knot and the overhand knot. The figure of eight is the most useful in seamanship. This is demonstrated first. Another type of stopper knot is the stevedore. This will be treated separately as some confusion can sometimes occur with this knot. The figure of eight is used for tying at the end of the sheet (sail rope) to prevent the rope from pulling through the eye. 6 Fireman’s Chair Knot This is a rescue knot used to make a chair for a person in a rope.
