A little knot lore, part V: the constrictor. The knot, also known as the constrictor knot, keeps a firm grip on everything. Egmont Friedl shows why
Whether, for example, the furled forestay or backstay needs to be tied in winter storage or an object - such as a torch - needs to be quickly secured to the boom or mast, the constrictor knot is no problem. The sling, also known as a choke hitch, holds everything securely in place. YACHT expert Egmont Friedl explains step by step how the constrictor is made.
