Usage
The Water Bowline is a variant of the standard Bowline, designed specifically for use in wet conditions where other knots may slip or jam. It features a Clove Hitch structure in the standing part, which helps increase its security in environments where ropes are exposed to water, such as towing boats or mooring lines.
Also known as
ABOK
Structure
Although similar in appearance to the Double Bowline, the Water Bowline is tied using a Clove Hitch in the standing part of the rope, rather than a round turn, as in the Double Bowline.
Strength/Reliability
Additional friction from the
Clove Hitch increases the security of this knot over the simple
Bowline. This knot is very secure and does not jam, even when wet.
