This Figure Eight Knot (Flemish Knot, Savoy Knot) is larger, stronger and more easy to untie than the overhand knot. It does not harm your rope as much as the overhand knot does. Sailors use this knot in most cases, not for bend support, where the smaller overhand is used, or in rope, but for a permanent small stopper.
To tie a Figure Eight Knot:
- Interlock the overhand loops.
- The running part then goes through the eye of one loop and the standing part goes through the eye of the other loop.
- Pull the running part and standing part tight.
Follow the boating and fishing knot links to the right for more clear pictures, directions and some animations on how to tie several popular boating and fishing knots.
Learning to tie boating and fishing knots the proper way is essential for a safe and successful trip. Any personal injury lawyer San Diego would agree that safety while on the water should always be on every fisherman's mind.
The links to the left provide current marine and local weather reports, extended local weather reports, tide charts and the U. S. Coast Guard Navigation Center, featuring GPS information, DGPS sites (which are a must for anyone with a differential GPS), LORAN-C information, Local Notice to Mariners plus a boat load of miscellaneous navigational links and my Site Map. Although most of the links to the left provide local information, my out of state visitors can also find nationwide marine and weather information.
The remaining links to the right have my Boating, Fishing, Fish Species, Fish Fileting and Tackle Tips pages. Following those are my Search Engine pages, one with short descriptions and another in a table form, plus my Research Page. Last but not least, is my Doll House Gallery featuring the Farmhouse and The Garfield! These keep me busy in the winter.
