Method
Form a turn in the standing
part (1), and insert the end
into it from below (2). Pass
the end behind the standing
part and bring it back through
the turn (3, 4). Hold the end
and the loop with the right
hand and pull the standing
part to tighten the knot (5, 6).
SLIPPED BOWLINE
This is made by using a bight
for the final tuck (7).
Of course, before
beginning the slipped
bowline you must ensure that
the end is long enough. Tied
in this way, the bowline is
easier to untie if it is under
great strain.
