Lynda's Loop Announcement
Lynda's Loop Announcement.txt
Hi All, This is a text file that will be crossposted to both rec.crafts.knots and to alt.binaries. In alt.binaries, it will have the scans of the knot attached. The scans include the text on tying the knot. If your news server does not get binary groups, let me know by e-mail and I'll send you a package with all the knots. This loop knot appears to be slightly stronger than a bowline in destructive testing with several types of cords. Note that in the bottom view the knot looks like a three-legged reef knot. It ties as quickly as a bowline and unties easier with just a tug of the slipped end. It is very secure, never having slipped a millimeter in anything but monofiliment. In monofiliment, if one uses two loops instead of one to go around the piece of tackle, it will make a connection as secure as a Trilene Knot. Regards, O J |
