Usage
The Sailor's Coil is a simple yet effective method for coiling a rope to prevent kinks, twists, or tangles. It is customarily used in maritime settings, where keeping neat, ready-to-use lines is essential. The technique involves coiling the rope into uniform loops, typically in the hand, and securing it with a locking knot to prevent it from unraveling. This binding knot can endure considerable handling without coming undone. The Sailor's Coil not only helps preserve the lifespan of ropes but also ensures that decks remain organized and clutter-free.

Structure
The construction of the knot binding the coil is similar to that of a Ground Line Hitch.
