Nautical Rope Loops
 
The Alpine Butterfly knot is very quick and easy to tie and has wide application. It can take a load in any of three different directions, which makes it more versatile than some other loops.
The Alpine Butterfly Loop is very quick and easy to tie and has wide application.
Regularly used by firefighters, climbers and anglers as it is readily tied, maintains its security and can be untied if not placed under too much load. It is a simple loop used to form a loop midway in a rope or line from which either a hook or dropper ca
The Bowline in the Bight is a favorite especially with climbers and boaties. The double loops formed can hold separate items and take differing loads.
The bowline is one of the most commonly used knots and has been tried and tested over many centuries.
he Bowline Loop is one of the most commonly used knots and has been tried and tested over many centuries. The bowline Loop is reliable, strong and stable and can be tied in a variety of differing ways.
The running bowline is an extremely handy in situations where an object may require retrieving or pliable packages such as sacks of grain etc., need lifting.
The Spanish Bowline provides two loops in either the middle or the end of a rope.
The triple bowline is an excellent rescue knot. Two loops used for the legs and the third passed under the arms and around the chest.
The Bulin knot is simply a variation on tying the bowline knot, sometimes called the climber's bowline as it is preferred by climbers being quick and effective.
he Bunny-Ears Loop is a frequently used climbing knot that is secure, stable and allows for two separately loaded carabineers to be attached.
This method of tying the bowline knot is preferred by climbers as it is quick and effective.
This is a variation of the bowline and is most popular with climbers as they believe it has more strength.
The Figure of Eight Loop is used for the formation of a loop at the end of a line or rope. Regularly used by firefighters, climbers and anglers as it is readily tied, maintains its security and can be untied if not placed under too much load.
The double figure of eight loop is a frequently used climbing knot that is secure, stable and allows for two separately loaded carabineers to be attached.
The Double Overhand Loop is useful for creating a quick yet simple loop in the end of a line.
The Double Overhand Noose is a versatile and useful loop to learn. It can be tied in almost any material and holds well when tightened under load.
Although more complicated to tie, the Figure of Eight Follow Through is a preferred knot for climbers over and above a Double Bowline simply because it is less likely to collapse and to be miss-tied. They especially use it as a “Tie in” for attaching

The French Bowline is a variation of many doubled looped bowlines, including the French Bowline. Use for rescue or for safety purposes however, should be done with caution, as the loops can slip when loaded individually.
The Jury Mast Knot was essentially formed to provide three or four loops around a temporary mast to which stays can be attached.
The Lineman's Loop is very quick and easy to tie and has wide application. The Lineman's Loop has uses which extend from joining tackle to lines to forming rope ladders, harnesses and for hoisting and lowering equipment and the like.
The Masthead Knot was essentially formed to provide three or four loops around a temporary mast to which stays can be attached.
The Overhand Loop is readily created and useful in that as it tightens onto the trapped bight section.
Whilst it is not the quickest to splice to perform, a double plait is a great way to retain maximum line strength and, although tricky, it is well worth mastering for its wide application.
The Poacher's Noose is a versatile and useful loop and it can be tied in almost any material.
This is a variation of many doubled looped bowlines. Use for rescue or for safety purposes however, should be done with caution, as the loops can slip when loaded individually.
Although more complicated to tie, the threaded figure-of-eight loop is a preferred knot for climbers over and above a double Bowline simply because it is less likely to collapse and to be miss-tied.
Easily untied after load then the other bowlines, the water bowline also makes the perfect loop in wet or slippery ropes.
