Bowline - the yachtsman favourite. The Bowline is best for forming a loop or eye, it doesn't jam and it's easy
to undo if not under load. Some people find the bowline easier learn by saying "the rabbit comes out of its hole, round
the tree and back down the hole again".
Clove Hitch Although not a very secure hitch, but it's quick to tie and easy to adjust - ideal
for securing fenders and the like.
Reef Knot Probably one of the most popular
and best known knots. Typical uses: tying the ends of a rope around an object, eg. a boom, a parcel, bandage, or the neck
of a sack.
