Below are some further errata, as well as some revisions to prior errata.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#143 (p.30) Ashley refers to the Bowline Bend as "#1145";
it should be "#1455".
#779 (p.140) The arrow in the lefthand image should cross over its own
part as it finishes (as indicated in righthand image).
#794 (p.143) The the crossing at the point of seizing is opposite between
L & R images--in the R, the two parts make a half-twist; in the L, one
part crosses Over at both points. But this difference is perplexing,
although without effect on the resultant knot. The center image is
flawed if taken literally, and doesn't help.
#1038 (p.188) The text should refer to knot #2420, not #387.
#1086 (p.197) The leftmost image is missing the continuation of one part
of the looped bight.
#1200 (p.218) As Ashley notes in the text, the illustration for this
knot is bad: the 3rd crossing from the arrow's end should be
reversed.
#1233 (p.223) The righthand image's lower arrow should cross over
the lower leftmost part.
#1438 (p.262) The tying & tied images are vertically reversed.
#1458 (p.265) The bottom of this seized structure shows the wrong parts
as end & SPart.
#1726 (p.296) The Bowline's END eyeleg should have the back hitch
collaring it, not the SPart, given the tying method (cf #1853).
#1795 (p.304) The Backhanded Mooring Hitch is confusingly, ambiguously presented:
(a) the lefthand image exhibits five bights and labels them "a"-"e" but they're
not referenced in the text(!?); (b) the righthand image is botched, with the
first turn apparently leading into either of the first two turns around the
SPart; (c) the text specifies casting several bights over the post, but doesn't
refer to the labels of the lefthand image and conflict with the righthand image
which only has the initial bight cast and then ends with round turn. If the
text's instruction to cast several bights over the capstan is followed, there
should be no need to stop the end--friction and material weight alone will hold
(Budworth specifies but ONE cast bight! YMMV with materials--diameters,surface
frictions, loads.).
Note that this is presented/named as a "mooring" hitch; the brieferstructures
might be better as the more temporary towing hitches!?
#1869 (p.312) The upper tuck wrongly is of the SPart through the end.
#2952 (p.485) The images and instructions for this simple sennit are botched:
(a) the leftmost image should show the arrow going Over the bight;
(b) the central image creates a sort of Crossing Knot within the structure (wrong);
(c) the tying will impart torsion to the bight, so instructions should be to
pre-twist the bight and then to reeve the ends into the twisted bight (which
might make the tying easier to follow); (d) the start is asymmetric, and
doesn't lead to an easy symmetric continuation--rather, the bight should be
simply closed with a Simple knot!?
#3106 (p.516) The first/upper image associated with this coiling method
has the visibly left-handed rope coiled clockwise, the opposite of what
is specified in the text and shown in the bottom image.
