Mooring

Mooring

Applications : This is a versatile slide-and-grip knot, with the extra facility of a quick-release draw-loop. It will moor a dinghy, tether a docile animal and act as the DIY enthusiast's occasional'third hand'.

Method: Tying the mooring hitch is simplicity itself (1-2), with the draw-loop making an over-under-over locking tuck.



History: The history of the mooring hitch is anybody's guess. Mine is that it could have been a medieval archer's adjustable bowstring knot.
