Sailors Knots: Halyard Hitches

Posted bylewisblevinsPosted inUncategorized

There are a few useful hitches that are employed to secure halyards. They are fairly impressive. The more I tie them the more I like them. They can be used anytime one must securely fastened a line. I’m not sure how to tie these under load but they’re good to know.
