What type of knot in illustration D030DG...

🔍 Key Concepts

• Notice how the smaller line is worked around the larger, load‑bearing line in several tight turns • Think about which of these knots is specifically used to take the strain off a larger line temporarily • Compare this drawing with how a knot would look if it were around a spar or log instead of around another line

💭 Think About

• Which of the four choices is designed to be tied onto another working line so that it can safely take a heavy strain and then be released quickly? • Do any of the answer choices normally require being passed around a log, post, or ring rather than around another rope? Eliminate those. • Look closely at the direction of the turns: do they spiral steadily in one direction along the standing part, or do they form a single loop with a hitch at the end?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the object being tied to in figure N – is it a rope, a post, or a spar? Match that to the proper knot use. • Count the turns around the standing part and note whether they progress along the line (like a series of hitches) or simply circle one spot (like a loop knot). • From your seamanship notes or Bowditch illustrations, compare the standard drawings for a rolling bowline, stopper hitch, timber hitch, and heaving line hitch and match the overall shape, not just one part of it.
