28 KNOTS, BENDS AND HITCHES

06 FISHERMAN’S BEND

OR ANCHOR BEND

This is very similar in formation to the Round Turn and Two Half Hitches,
but is somewhat more secure. As can be seen, the working end of the line
passes under the Round Turn on the anchor ring so that it is locked under
load. The Half Hitches are then put on in the same way as for the Round
Turn and Two Half Hitches. Finally the rope’s end, for complete security, can
either be seized to the standing part as in the photograph or linked to it with
a Bowline.
