               A slightly different form of Rolling Hitch from the basic one described
               already is used when securing a rope to a spar rather than to another rope.
               In this case the initial turns do not cross over each other, they simply roll
               around the spar. The final Half Hitch is still formed beyond the point where
               the standing part of the line meets the spar.
