Knots?
I'm anchoring an 18 foot ski boat near a rocky lake shoreline. I'm using an
Anchor Buddy (bungee add-on for the rode) to hold the boat off shore. I'm using 3/8" 3 strand nylon to tie to a tree on land to keep the boat near shore, but not on shore. AnchorBuddy.com if you need a video to see what I'm talking about. Right now I'm using a 100 foot line to attach the bow to the tree. I tied a bowline knot at the tree end. Is the bowline a good knot that will withstand some gentle tugging all night long? If I wanted to carry 2 50 foot sections of line for tieing to the tree insted of the single 100 foot section I might occasionally need to tie the 2 sections together to reach the tree. Is a sheet bend a good knot for holding the 2 sections together all night, again with the stress of gentle tugging? Or should I attach the 2 sections to each other using bowline knots? |
