Lev Scriabin “Sea Knots” 7. QUICK-RELEASE KNOTS

(Fig. 91). This knot serves well as a simple stopper, which can be quickly released even under cable tension. When you pull on the running end, it will instantly come undone. It can be used in all cases where you need to temporarily secure something in such a way that the rope can be released at any moment.

Unleashing Eight(Fig. 92). If an ordinary figure eight (see Fig. 3) is made with a loop, that is, the running end folded in half is passed into its last loop, then we will get a good quick-release stopper.

Rice. 92. Untied Eight
Untied running simple knot(Fig. 93). A running simple knot (see Fig. 82) can be easily converted into a quick-release knot without changing its function, i.e. using it as a running knot, and not as a quickly untied knot.

To do this, you need to insert the running end, folded in half, into its loop. In this case, it will have two properties at once - it will tighten and quickly untie if you pull the running end sticking out of the loop. With the help of this knot, you can moor the boat behind the shore bollard in such a way that, if necessary, the painter can be released without leaving the boat, by pulling the running end, which is left long enough. This is a very common knot. In any case, all over the world they use it to tie horses by the bridle to a leash. To prevent the knot from accidentally coming undone, the end of the bridle is inserted into the loop (Fig. 93. b). Rice. 93. Untied running simple knot. On large straight-rigged sailing ships, reefs were taken using reef lines - the flat ends of the cable, which were used to tie the luff of the sail to the reef line.

The reef-tzgerts were connected in such a way that at any moment, if necessary, they could be untied or, as the sailors say, “torn apart.” A reef knot was used for this purpose. It is very similar to a straight knot and is knitted in the manner shown in Fig. 25, except that when tying the second half-knot, its running end is threaded into the loop folded in half. When you pull on the running end, the knot instantly unties. IN maritime affairs

This knot is used for tying the tarpaulin covers of lifeboats, winches, compasses and other instruments on the upper navigation open bridge. This knot is commonly known as“a knot with one bow.”

It is familiar to everyone; many tie their shoelaces with it. In principle, this is a simple and useful knot. Double reef knot (Fig. 95). It is sometimes called a halyard knot. But sailors almost never use it: a reef knot is enough for them to temporarily tie the rods and other ends together. In Vladimir Dahl's dictionary it is called“loop knot” And“burdock (bow)”. It is often called byte node

. It is knitted in the same way as a straight knot, but in the second half-knot the running ends of the cable are tied folded in half. This is an indispensable knot for tying shoe laces, ropes, bows on the neck and bows in the hair, as well as on packages and boxes.

Rice. 43. Double reef knot Untying weaving knot

(Fig. 96). An excellent weaving knot - a “brother” to the clew knot. It can be improved if the running end of the cable is passed under the main one, folded in half. At the same time, it will hold just as securely, but can be untied at any moment, even under tension.

Rice. 96. Untying weaving knot Kalmyk node

(Fig. 97). It is one of the practical and reliable units. Its name speaks about how it appeared in our country. And although the Kalmyk steppes do not evoke associations with the sea and ships, it has long been used in the navy. Foreign sailors do not know him, and, oddly enough, he does not appear in any of the numerous manuals on tying knots published abroad. In Fig. 97 provides a schematic diagram of tying the Kalmyk knot, which shows only mutual arrangement

Place the running end of the cable behind the object and take it, stepping back a little from the end, from above with your left hand with your thumb towards you. Right hand Place the root end over the left fist, in which the running end is already clamped, and make a full turn around it with the root part of the cable.

Then, with the movement of your left hand, move the root end under the root part of the large loop while simultaneously moving the running end around the same part of the cable and then intercepting the running end with the fingers of your left hand. After this, carefully pull the running end in the form of a loop through the main end hose located on the left hand (by dropping the hose) so that the running end does not straighten, and tighten the knot with the main end. The Kalmyk knot holds securely and quickly unties if you pull the running end..

It is used for temporary fastening of the casting end to the mooring line when the latter is supplied from the vessel to the pier. It is used for attaching reins to a bridle, as well as for tying a horse in a stable. If you pass the running end, not folded in half, into the loop of the Kalmyk knot, then the knot will not be a quick-release one. In this form it is called

Cossack knot Rice. 97. Kalmyk knot

Self-tightening knot

(Fig. 98). If you pass the running end, folded in a loop, into the loop of this knot, the knot will still retain its main property, but can be quickly untied if desired. To do this, you just need to pull the running end. Kalmyk Rice. 98. Untied self-tightening knot

Lifeboat

(Fig. 99). It is used when towing boats and while they are parked under fire at the side of the ship only in cases where there are people in them. First, the running end of the painter is passed into the bow boat eye, then under the first can, then carried from above around the second can, the end is brought out above the cable and again under the can, then the end of the painter is folded in the form of a loop and placed under a hose made on top of the can. The boat knot is easily untied by pulling the running end of the painter lying on the can.

Mill node(Fig. 101). Many knots, once wet, are difficult to untie. It often happens that ends have to be cut literally. It was for this situation that the sailors came up with a knot called the “wet half-bayonet.” It is used for fastening painters and mooring lines to bollards, bollards and bitings. It is designed for strong traction and quick recoil. No matter how tightly the knot is tightened and gets wet, it can always be quickly released.

Courier node(Fig. 102). It serves the same purpose as a wet half bayonet. After one carry around the pole, the running end is passed in a figure eight around the root end, then folded in half and inserted in the form of a loop between the loops of the figure eight and the root end. This knot does not untie as quickly as the previous one.

Bucket knot(Fig. 103). Imagine that a climber needs to climb down a rope from a height. He is walking alone, and he has only one rope, which he still needs. What can you do to take the rope with you when you descend from a height? It’s very simple: you need to secure the rope with a bucket knot, go down its root end and, by jerking the long running end, untie the knot tied at the top. Using this “remotely untieable” knot, you can lower, for example, a bucket of water from a house window, place it on the ground and raise the rope up again.

Pirate Kalmyk(Fig. 104). The principle of this unit is the same as that of a bucket unit. The only difference is that the loop is done differently.

These two original knots can be successfully used by climbers, firefighters and builders.

It got its name from the word “reef-shtert” - a small end of the cable tied into the canvas of the sail, which was used to “take reefs”, that is, they tied a part of the sail selected to the luff of the sail or to the boom in order to reduce its area in strong winds . On large straight-rigged sailing ships, reefs were taken using reef lines - the flat ends of the cable, which were used to tie the luff of the sail to the reef line. The reef ropes were tied in such a way that at any moment, if necessary, they could be untied or, as sailors say, “torn apart.” A reef knot was used for this purpose. It is very similar to a straight knot and is knitted in the manner shown in Fig. 25, except that when tying the second half-knot, its running end is threaded into the loop folded in half. When you pull on the running end, the knot instantly unties.
In maritime affairs, this knot is used for tying the tarpaulin covers of lifeboats, winches, compasses and other instruments on the upper navigation open bridge.
