MAKING HITCHES
Lobster Buoy Hitch
The Lobster Buoy Hitch is tied with just one turn around the object
because using a round turn would take tension away from Half Hitches,
reducing the advantage of trapping the running end.
Bring the running end once around the object. Make two Half
▲
Hitches that form a Cow Hitch around the standing part, so that the
running end is trapped against the object.
A useful feature of this hitch is that the running end is trapped, but
not as tightly as in the Buntline Hitch.
