Oh no its knot

[trev]

Having found that MBY's picture of a sheet bend looks more like a 'box' knot (Sept p66).- now find MBM's picture of Humminbird 595c is a Geonav 4c.(Aug p43).
Is there a 'deliberate mistake' competition I don't know about ?

See a doctor!

No, inaccuracy of reports and details show how little proof reading appears to be done nowadays. Alternatively it may be being done but only by the tea lady. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Why is it that most MoBo owners seem to use a locking hitch when putting a mooring line onto a cleat?

I don't want to but I find I have to, because cleats are generally not big enough, using decent size rope, to get enough 'turns' to feel confident for maybe a couple of months security.

Ummm, why wouldn't you?
