Usage
The Boom Hitch is a secure method of attaching a rope to a fixed cylindrical object like a pipe, pole or sail boom and is appropriate for both parallel strain and right-angle strain applications. It works equally well in both wet or dry rope.

Strength/Reliability
Once dressed and tightened, the Boom Hitch is appropriate for both parallel strain and right-angle strain applications — even on smooth surfaces such as a steel pipe.
Note
While tying, keep the passes around the spar bunched together snugly, working out the slack in the turns as you go.
