Wrapped coil
A little more time and trouble must be taken to make this coil, but, assuming it will not be
needed at a few seconds’ notice, the extra wrapping turns keep the rope tangle-free until it is
required again.
Coil the rope in the usual way, but tie a reef or square knot (see page 10) at the bottom of the coil
in both long ends (1). Wrap each end clockwise around and up its own side of the coil (2), until
they meet at the top, then tie another reef knot (3). Go over the wrapping turns and work them
snug, removing any slack by retying the final reef knot (4).
