This site is interesting. I have try the stunsail knot.
I see some use for it on a dinghy sailboat. However I feel more comfortable
with the bowline knot on larger boats. While not as nice as the stunsail
the bowline is more secure.
Maybe with time I'll get use to a stunsail knot and appreciate it more.

Different knot, same name - or is it a different knot?

Thanks,

Mike.

As you can see from this representation, the knot is made the same
way as a clove hitch.
