Versatackle

The versatackle can be used to pull two objects

together within the initial bight. Alternatively, the
tail of the first loop can be made longer and be

attached to an object. Either way, the contraption
can be used to tension rigging, lash a dinghy down

onto a deck or trailer, or even clamp wood together.

1 Tie an angler’s loop in the end of the line – leaving a long end if this is to

be attached to either point (see above).
