Versatackle knot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A versatackle is a way of simulating a block and tackle without actual pulleys or deadeyes. It consists of two loops with the rope passed back and forth between them.
[edit] Step by Step Images
 Make a loop knot on one end of the rope and another loop knot in the middle, just longer than the area to be bound. (An overhand loop knot is used here) |
 Pass the second working end through the loop knot in the first working end. |
 Bring the second working end up through the loop knot tied in the middle of the rope. |
 Repeat until there are three complete passes (three ropes in each loop). |
 Pull on the second working end, and work out the slack to tighten. |
