French Bowline
Knot
(Also Known As: Portuguese
Bowline)
Uses:
This is another variation on the basic Bowline
which can create two or more loops.
Efficiency: 60-75% However, one disadvantage
with the French Bowline is that it is fairly easy for one of the
loops to get bigger and the other loop to get smaller. This can
potentially pose a hazard when hoisting or lowering people or heavy
objects because it might allow the load to shift.
Instructions:1) The French bowline starts out like a simple
bowline, but is formed with two loops, instead of one. 2)
After forming the two loops, finish, like a simple bowline, by going
around the standing part
and back through the hole. 3) After forming the knot,
tighten by pulling on the rope ends.
