Boating Knots

If, like me, you often forget how to tie a particular knot or would just like to learn a few new ones, then this section might help.

All the videos are courtesy of the excellent Groggs Knots (https://www.animatedknots.com/) and visiting their site will give you much more information as well as useful variations of the knots shown below.

Alpine Butterfly Bend

Reliable bend used to join two ropes of roughly similar size.

Alpine Butterfly Loop

Secure loop in the middle of a length of rope.

Anchor Hitch

Excellent knot to attach an anchor line to an anchor.

Bowline

Reasonably secure loop in a rope’s end – and easy to undo.

Buntline Hitch

Secure hitch originally used to join buntlines to square sails.

Cleat Hitch (Deck)

Attaches rope to cleat. Often used for Dock Lines.

Cleat Hitch (Halyard)

Attaches rope to cleat – used for halyards, clotheslines, etc.

Clove Hitch

Temporary hold, e.g. mooring buoy.

Halyard Hitch

Compact knot to join halyard to a shackle at top of a sail.

Pile Hitch

Easy attachment to a mooring pole or to make rope fence.

Rolling Hitch

Popular slide and grip knot, may fail with modern ropes.

Round Turn & Two Half Hitches

Excellent way of securing a rope to a post or ring.

Zeppelin Bend

Joins two ropes and avoids the risk of jamming.
