Where in the Bay Area are you located?

Jack:
I know some of these knots and agree with you on some of on those I do
know. I'll look at those I'm not familiar with.
I'm curious about your Double Overhand opinion. I understand that the
Overhand is prone to jamming. How would you rate a Figure 8 in the,(

bitter
end ), bight VS. a Double Overhand?

Wayne:
Thank you also. I am familiar with some of your suggestions and do agree
with most. I'll look at those I'm not familiar with.
I actually did have the Monkeys Fist in my original list...
Why a Double Sheepshank instead of just a Sheepshank?

Thanks to all,
Doug

I would add:

Double overhand - a much better stopper knot that a figure 8

Rolling Hitch - to assist in getting rid of overrides

Double sheet bend - for joining lines

Round turn and two half hitches - docking and attaching fenders

Clove hitch - temporarily tying a line to a spar or a life line

Cow hitch - for tying sails to stanchions

Bowline on a bight - emergency bosun's chair (really uncomfortable)

================================================== =====

Good suggestions. I would add:

double sheepshank (for shortening a line in a pinch).

anchor bend (for anything that must NOT come untied).

tautline hitch (adjustability)

carrick bend (decorative)

monkey fist (heaving line)

cleat knot (docking)
