Round turn and two half-hitches

One and a half Rundtörn with two half hitches is a node to a rope ( rope ) to securely attach to an object.

Name and history

The name is commonly abbreviated colloquially to Rundtörn with two half hitches although he correctly " One and a half Rundtörn with two half hitches " should read. In the north, it is also called Rundtörn with two Halbsteken. In English, the name is: round turn and two half- hitches.

Application

This node can be bound and loosed in tension. It is suitable for tying on poles, ring, bollards or other objects and is very reliable. Already with the first Rundtörn on the bollard, a ship can be controlled when equipped. The node can also be used in the middle of the rope.

Tie

The rope is looped twice around a rod or a ring - or more precisely, one and a half (there are one and a half round trips down ) - so that it rejects back to the initial direction. Then two half hitches are placed around the output cable. It should be noted that the two half- strokes have the same direction of rotation, thus forming a Webeleinenstek to the output cable.

A half hitch

Second half hitch

Finished

A long rest rope a long bay is placed and tied the whole node with this bay in this. At the bollard, the rope is looped twice, and the two half- strokes are then linked with a bay (the first half is then blow on panties).

Alternatives

• When climbing the figure-eight knot is always used.
• In the maritime sector, bowline is used for versatile use.
• At one pole is used in the maritime sector, Webeleinenstek or in the building trade of carpenter blow.
• Horses are tied with the Pferdeanbindeknoten.

Modifications

• If the item is wrapped around only once, creates a bay with two half hitches. ( Webeleinenstek )
• If the first half blow out through the two round trips and omitted the second half beat, gives the Roringstek.
