The Round Turn and Two Half Hitches is an incredible method of fastening down a rope to a post or ring.

An extra turn, or even 2-extra turns, should be added at first on the off chance that you are handling a heavy load, for example, with a huge vessel or in a heavy breeze. These turns permit you to control the load while you add the Two Half Hitches.

Two Half Hitches: The two Half Hitches eventually structure the clove hitch round the standing end part. Nonetheless, it isn't regular to see an extra, or even more Half Hitches either to make the knot safer or to use up more extra line.

This permits you to utilize the other hand to take the strain of a vessel that may effortlessly pull with a power far more than you could otherwise control. As highlighted above, when managing such power, use the more number of turns on the post as are important to control the strain.
