92 This knot is made on a bight and used under conditions
where both standing parts are under load. It would normally
be made 'jn the hands' but is shown 'flat' to simplify the
Spanish layout which consists of a series of bights, Fig 1, which
becomes Fig 2 by crossing the large bight clockwise.
Bowline The resulting top bight Fig 2, is taken down, over the two
small bights, Figs 3 and 4, and back up behind the
standing part, Fig 5. Each side of this bight is tucked
down through its respective small bights below, as
shown in Fig 6, then hauled tight, Fig 7.
