TWIN BOWLINE BEND




               Purpose

               A neat way to join two large ropes or cables—or indeed smaller cordage—so
               that they may readily be untied after use, is to link a couple of bowlines in this

               way.




               Tying
               Lay  the  two  working  ends  alongside  one  another,  parallel  and  pointing  in

               opposite directions. Make a loop in one standing part and tuck the working end
               of the other line to complete the knot. Do the same with the other end. Ensure

               that both knots are adjusted so that any load falls equally on both legs of line
               between the two knots.
