Talk:Versatackle knot

Simplified versatackle

After some fiddling around, I came up with a version of this knot that is simpler and faster to set up, by replacing the two fixed loops with a slip knot in the middle of the rope, and bight passed around the anchor replacing the end loop. (the free end then goes through the slipknot loop to start the winding.

Here's an animation of tying the tackle: [1]

I haven't tested this version yet but I'm interested to hear if anyone else has tried the same or similar modifications?

Hey, that's good! A fine piece of original research. It really seems useful and at the same time easier than that versatackle. I've been looking for something like that. Thanks. --Cspan64 (talk) 18:13, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
