34. Bowline with Stopper

Also known as: Bowline Loop or Bowline Knot with End Secured

As good a knot as the Bowline is, it can slip if tied in slippery rope. An
Overhand Knot tied in the working end around one strand of the loop will
help prevent this. It is also a good way to make the knot tidier if the
working end is too long.

Uses: general lifting, personal safety, connecting ends of two ropes, sail-to-sheet connections, docklines
Pros: increases security of Bowline; controls excessively long working end

Cons: bulkier and more time-consuming than standard Bowline
