Normally this method is used
when a line has been thrown
but only if the rope is not
under strain and can be
dropped over the object.
Sailors use this method when
mooring on a ballard at the
quayside with medium-
diameter rope.

Method
Pick up the rope with the right
hand and take hold of it with
the left about eighteen inches
away. The leh palm should be
facing downwards (1). Twist
the left wrist to form a loop
(2). With the right hand, pull
the rope towards you and
form another loop. The
standing part should be lying
below the end (3, 4). Overlap
the two loops and drop them
5 over the post. Tighten it by
pulling the end with your
right hand (5).
