Some consider that a French bowline is the same as a Portuguese bowline, i.e. a bowline with two loops that can be used as a bosun's chair. A different knot is however also known as a French bowline. This form of bowline is similar to a standard bowline but there are several loops so that there is less likelihood of damage to a delicate object secured by the bowline. As with a standard bowline, the knot cannot tighten. Pressure is distributed over a wider area than in the case of a standard bowline.The main advantage of this method is that the knot can be tied with one hand. * * * * * *

  • Some consider that a French bowline is the same as a Portuguese bowline, i.e. a bowline with two loops that can be used as a bosun's chair. A different knot is however also known as a French bowline. This form of bowline is similar to a standard bowline but there are several loops so that there is less likelihood of damage to a delicate object secured by the bowline. As with a standard bowline, the knot cannot tighten. Pressure is distributed over a wider area than in the case of a standard bowline.The main advantage of this method is that the knot can be tied with one hand. A convenient way to tie a French bowline can be: * 1. Wind the running end several times round the object to be tied, leaving enough running end for one further turn. * 2. Form a loop in the standing end. * 3. Pass this behind the winds in the running end until it projects beyond these. * 4. Form a bight in the standing end and push this through the loop. * 5. Bring the running end behind and through the bight. * 6. Pull on the standing end to pull the bight back through the loop and form the knot. (en)
