Hi Alan, i am the one who should thank you for your high productivity of creating new compact workable knots,presenting new techniques and inspiring other people.
All credits go to Ychan, because without his Mocha loop i wouldn’t have thought about it!Interaction between members is quite important,as it might breed new offerings or improvements to existing structures and i believe such a claim emerges through this thread.
I like your first knot a lot,seeing that you are using a crossing of the eye legs(have used it too)!Your knot has bowline characteristics, a shaped-8 like nipping structure, although the returning eye leg does not capture the SE directly, but this very nipping component!
I think that you should definitely test this “easy to tie knot”(along with your second version which is a bit more complex), when your test rig is ready for action and publish your results.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Knotting Year to ALL!!!
Hi All,
tsik_lestat, I like your replied, plain, simple English, easy to understand.
You never play any “Words Game” here, You are truly coming for knotting here.
Unfortunately, Xarax no longer here, If He is here to analysis you knots, will speed thing up for you.
Your knot has bowline characteristics
So these knots here may qualify for " hailed as Bowlines "
"Happy New Year " 謝謝 alanleeknots
Hi All,
This loop here doesn’t seem like it can handed heavy load, but interesting knot, it looks like “Lee’s lock Yosemite bowline”,
like to test it and see how it behave under heavy load. 謝謝 alanleeknots
Hi yChan,
I have the quick test on your Mocha loop, for 1/4" rope after loading can be untie, no easy but not too hard either.
well secure and retain compact form.
For 7/16 rope, very hard to dress the knot, after loading 1200kg, very easy to loosen the outer collar, take me 3 minutes
to loosen the inner collar, and then rest is easy. The inner collar doesn’t jam, it snug tie, just no room to maneuver it.
Something wrong with my new jack, I have to return it and get another one, That’s all I can do for you.
謝謝 alanleeknots
this is a neat way of forming the knot, but there is a considerable amount of unloaded slack within the knot which must be hand dressed in order to ensure the knot has the desired structure.
