Flat seizing

Seizings were traditionally used where the

thickness of rope or wire made it impractical to
splice. Nowadays, they can be used with modern

plaited rope, which is too complicated or time-
consuming to splice, and to tie metal brackets to

wire, or even wire to wire, if suitable fittings are

unavailable.

1 Tie the two parts together with a running bowline in the end of the

seizing line.
