Picture 1 - Carrick Bend
Picture 2 - Bowline on the Bight
Picture 3 - Parts of a Rope
Picture 4 - A Round Turn and 2 Half Hitches and a Fishermans Bend - please note they are basically the same with the exception of the first hitch goes under the round turns in the Fishermans Bend.
Picture 5 - A rolling Hitch both left and right handed pull - please note that some people teach and prefer if using man made fibre ropes the first bit do not cross but wrap around the object in question - the say it provides more friction with the slipary nature of the rope

Fisherman's bend usually used for attaching an object, ie a hook or an anchor, Fisherman's knot for tying to another rope or line.
If it don't fit, use a hammer to make it fit....

Hi Pat, knots are a very interesting question and topic.
I really like them, and you're certainly right—they're useful in general, but also in modeling.
I'm familiar with both nautical and rock/mountain knots, but I know their specific Italian terms.
To verify their English equivalent, I'd have to do some research online.
If you'd like, please attach photos of the knots you mentioned, I'd appreciate it.

1 joining thin lines of equal thickness...
2 joining thick ropes without jamming
3 A knot that is used to attach a rope to a spar or another rope that allows jamming in one direction depending on how tied.
4 a bowline that forms two loops on a rope but not on the end.
5 see 3....
If it don't fit, use a hammer to make it fit....

Hello Shipmates

What are the following Bends and Hitches used for:-

1. A Fishernams bend
2. A Carrick Bend
3. A Rolling Hitch
4. A Bowline on the Bight
5. A Rolling Hitch

This is an easy peasy quest that persons only interested in model building should be able to answer.


Good Luck



Pat
