Nice knot. If you’re going to go that route, why not just tie a bowline?

It obviously makes the line much thicker and makes it harder to hoist the last 8"-12" or so of the halyard without creating abrasion on the halyard. It was suggested to me to instead use something called the Jeanneau Halyard Knot... something I never heard of in all my years of sailing but it solved the problem for me and now I can raise the the halyard 100% without concern for halyard wearing out faster at the top... here is a link on how to tie the knot for those interested and never heard of it like me... I am probably one of the last people to hear about it... never too late to learn. -- http://jeanneau.tripod.com/hintsandtips/id137.htm Regards Jim S/V Strong Tower 1977 C&C 29 MK 1 North East, Maryland -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
