Mooring hitch
text:
The mooring hitch can be used to tie a small boat to a post, pole, bollard or similar. As it is a quick-release knot, it can be easily untied by pulling the working end E. If the working end is long enough, this can be done from the boat. It is considered rather insecure though. The mooring hitch can slide along the standing part (A-B); a pull on the other parts (C,D) can lock it into place, forming a fixed loop also known as the Lapp knot.
