🔍 Key Concepts

• Rolling hitch – how it grips a standing part under load • Difference between bends (for joining two lines) and hitches (for securing to an object or another line) • How a line under strain can be controlled or transferred safely

💭 Think About

• Ask what the primary purpose of a rolling hitch is: gripping and taking strain on a rope or spar, or permanently joining two lines? • Think about which knots are normally used to join two lines of equal or different sizes, and whether those are usually called bends or hitches. • Consider situations where you have a heavily loaded line on a winch or cleat—what knot would let you take the load off that line without letting it run?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that bends (like sheet bend, double sheet bend, carrick bend) are typically used for joining lines, not for taking strain off another line. • Confirm that a rolling hitch is designed to grip and hold along the length of another line or spar, especially when it is under load. • Check which choice describes controlling or transferring the load on a strained line, rather than reinforcing or permanently joining it.
