Any tourist on a water trip may need a very useful, irreplaceable skill to knit sea knots. Mooring of vessels, towing and even setting up of awnings and tents can be facilitated by nautical nodes, matched to the place. Here are some options.

Step 1
The gazebo knot is the real king of knots. Known to mankind since ancient times, it contains elements of simple, straight, weaving knots and half-bayonets. This combination has an amazing effect. The arbor knot is universal, at the same time it is very easy to knit, never tightly tightened, never untied itself, only if necessary.
We take the root end of the cable in the left hand, with the right we enclose the running end behind us around the waist. We take the running end in the right hand and squeeze it in our fist, stepping back about 10 cm from its end. We take the root end in the left hand and extend the left hand forward. Now, when the root end of our cable is slightly stretched, we bend around it with the right hand, together with the running end clamped in the hand, towards ourselves from top to bottom and upward from ourselves. Moreover, the brush must make such a movement so as not to fall into the loop entirely. After that, we wrap the running end around the stretched root end to the left and intercept it with the index and thumb of the right hand. And at the end we push the running end into the small loop, at the same time pulling the right hand out of the loop.
Step 2
The Portuguese bowline works like a simple bowline. It is advisable and very convenient in cases when you need to tie two loops at one end. For example, when lifting a wounded person. We thread the victim's legs into the loops, and knit a half-bayonet around the chest and under the armpits with the root end of the cable. It is impossible to fall out of such a knot.
Step 3
Eight is a classic knot that has found wide application not only in sea voyages, but also in everyday life. An eight can tie a rope to a children's sled, attach guitar, mandolin, balalaika strings to pegs, make rope handles for a tub or bucket, and much more.
We wrap around the root running end of the cable, pass it into the loop that has just been formed. Only in a simple knot, the running end is skipped into the loop immediately, and in the eight, it starts up for itself before that.
Step 4
The Flemish loop is used for many purposes, including securing strings to the tuning pegs of musical instruments. This knot is tied with a figure eight on a cable folded in half. The result is a strong loop at the end of the cable that can be easily untied at will.
Step 5
A simple bayonet with 2 hoses is one of the varieties of a simple bayonet. It has an additional third hose, in contrast to its analog, a simple unit with a hose. It can significantly increase the strength of the knot when the cable is subjected to friction against the bitt or bollard. Using this assembly when attaching the cable to the hook is a very reliable method.
