Thank you for your interest in my "possibly" recently developed knot. I needed a knot for mooring my boat, but was not impressed with the knots previously devised. Therefore, I decided to develop my own. The knot would have to meet certain criteria. Naturally, the knot would have to be easy to tie and hold securely, however I needed to fulfill other key aspects. First, the knot would have to start off with a couple of wraps to provide control and manageability while completing the knot. This is particularly important when mooring a boat to a dock. Second, the knot would have to be easily untied. Therefore, a quick release "lock up" was established. Third, the knot would have to be tightened using primarily the working end, as opposed to the standing end. This would reduce the amount of slack in the line. I am happy to say that this knot fulfills all of these requirements. Although I developed this hitch for mooring purposes, it can be used for many other applications. Regardless of how the pictures arrive, orientation of the pipe should be horizontal, with the standing end of the rope hanging down. Best regards!
