- And, thx Dan. Yes, the application is fixed, but 2-3 times a year I make a correction.
And I must admit that I do not understand how the bend can be transformed into a loop in the bight.
The adjustment would not be hard, given the knots
that I suggested --which should be easily loosened
and adjusted in a not difficult way.
"loop in the bight" : well, you won't be doing this
in the sense of tying; but you will end up with the
eye knot as desired, but tied with ends. And to do
this, form one half of the desired bend-to-become-eye,
then --if it's not clear otherwise-- use a spare rope
to complete the end-2-end knot (loosely),
and with that in place as a guide,
simply withdraw this other piece and follow it
with the long tail from the first half, leaving
the now-formed eye at whatever size is desired
(looks as though you don't need a large eye).
Again, as you will back out one half of the
end-2-end knot joining some spare rope to
your mooring rope, follow it with your long
tail (sort of "tying it backwards", so to speak),
which will thus form the eye part of the knot.
(One can imagine using a separate rope for the
eye part exclusively --a round sling-- and then
tying the mooring line through this sling,
as another way to create the mooring set-up.)
