Double overhand knot

Boating and sailing knots

Double overhand knot

In former days the double overhand knot was used to measure the boat's speed: The knots were counted and the speed was calculated using a table. It is nearly impossible to untie this knot. The hangman's knot has the same features.

A number of overhand knots (two or more, maximal six) are done through one loop.

 

 

It is important that the loops are spread evenly.

 

 

If the loops are parallel and tied together it is nearly impossible to untie them.
