Thanks, Mark, for the video. After careful examination of the knot, it is not a true Bowline Knot. It is more similar to Perfection Knot. However, it is a fast way to make a life saving knot. Happy New Year.
This is a knot commonly used in flyfishing. It is called a perfection loop. I worked on a towboat on the Tennessee River many years ago and we used for the reasons you mentioned, but I never heard it called by any particular name. I might mention for those who think it is magic, that it is very easy once learned.
You are right.
It is a perfection loop.
The tail end comes off the knot perpendicular to the loop
@@Dagrizzb and both sides of the loop come out of the knot in line with the standing end
@@wgray8231 to this day, my favorite not is the prusik.
As a kid, I remember seeing a James Bond film where he uses his bootlaces to climb a rope dangling over a cliff overhang.
@@Dagrizzb he was soft. I used expired dental floss
@@MrGroganmeister
I believe it. The English do not utilize as many tools for dental hygiene.
In 52 years of sailing I never saw this one !…
Great !
A old river boat man showed me this knot some 50 years ago. It really works.
It goes by several names: I know it as the Flying Bowline. Not the same as a proper bowline and its main value is for showing off to the impressionable. I do it all the time!
It looks easy to get wrong. He has to concentrate and setup everything perfectly.
Wow, even in slow motion it’s a work of art, amazing to see such skill in action, thanks for the video , I’ve known how to tie a bowline for a while, but this was an education.
I learned this one back in the 80s, I show it to people and they either say "Wow!" or "That's not a real bowline!"
Same, i just tie this knot to mess with my rescue instructor.
@@r1pperduck I have tied it when I needed to lasso a piling in a hurry. It can be a handy knot to know.
because its not a real bow line . there are videos on youtube on how to make one and most people that want to be prepared will likely already have a line ready for just such an emergency
@@saur2244 No, It's knot a real bowline, and it shouldn't be used in, say, a mountaineering situation because it is not as strong, the line might break at the knot under a big shock load. It is mostly a kind of trick, for entertainment, and it _could_ come in handy.
@@rideswithscissors its a fun looking knot to make at partys kind of like a little magic trick but nothing more . for anyone wanting to learn how to make a real bow line witch is so easy and can be made in almost the same amount of time.
if you are good there are videos on line that can show you this and the real bowline can handle any load you put it on so it is better just to have a rope aside with one already in it
Learned the 1 handed in boy scouts, an eagle out of troop 57 now and work on a boat. You got it down for sure
If you watch the new Disney movie "Moana", you'll see them do this knot at least 3 times in the film! This video was the first thing I thought of when I saw it!
mydoggylives yeah I can do one of the knots in moana
The probably used his video to learn how lol.
Following your exact instructions I get a "perfection eye" rather than a "bowline", but it is still a very fast way to tie a static loop in the end of a line though!
It does not make a true bowline.
A "perfection loop" has the tail end perpendicular to the loop, while a "bowline" has the tail end parallel in the direction of the loop.
Slow it down all you want I'm still lost 😂
"simply throw that around"
executes skilled maneuver
As good & quick as this demo is, with a few tweaks it can be done faster and cleaner.
By keeping the line underfoot (standing line,, no pun intended) shorter, ( eg. left hand out in front at waist height,) & tight, when you throw the bitter end (loose short line) there is no slack, The bitter end whips around & forms the knot.
As the loop is passed into the offhand, keeping the line tight underfoot & lifting the left hand, the knot tightens itself .
Cuts time almost in half or more than having to grab the slack line and pull with both hands to tighten the knot.
By useing the right foot and left hand to form & tighten the knot, the right hand is free to grab the standing line midway, swing and throw.
With practice its possible to pick up a line. Form the knot and have it in the air towards MOB (man over board) or pylon etc in around 5 seconds.
Believe me, seeing that tied loop heading your way within seconds of your head breaking surface, lets you know you can rely on your deckmates.
I'd suggest ANYONE that spends any time on water learns to tie this knot fast.
Its literally a lifeline.
Thank you for this comment. I was skeptical because of how common it is for trolls to seek flaws, but your suggestions about (1) the tension maintained by your foot, (2) the height of the left hand, and (3) the mental preparation for the right hand to throw really helped with practicality.
Of course I'm referring to the left and right hands as demonstrated, which could be switched for preference.
My wife's grandpa sowed me this many years ago, he was taught this in the navy during the war against Japan. He told me it was called a tug bowline, they used it most of the time to make a quick loop type
knot for mooring large boats to a pier
they show this briefly in the disney movie moana, i wondered if it was real. awesome . liked, and subscribed.
My brother in law showed me this last year. It is a cool knot. He is a fishing guide and works on a boat charter crew. I need to practice this one again.
A boat builder i worked with in Cornwall England showed me this knot. He learnt it from an American seaman in the 50s when he was a boy. I have not seen any one else use it over here which makes it a good trick to show my friends.
Soon as he said "Man fall over board you can't take all day to tie this knott" I was sold! Awesome awesome technique.
I knew 3 different ways to tie a bowline and now I know a fourth. It took less than a minute to learn. Many thanks.
We're gonna call you, "Doubting Dan"😂
1:11 "I'm holding 22 inches in my right hand"
said no man, ever.
speak for yourself bro ;)
@@LegalizeTheNuclearBomb I feel bad for your girlfriend
Pretty cool. Im gonna learn it just for the novelty.
As for speed, ive lately taken to putting eyes on the end of my ropes. Especially the shorts. Comes in real handy much of the time, and the rope can still be tied as normal when an eye is not needed.
You can drink ALL night for free if you take a piece of line into a bar and only show this knot at high speed. Challenge anyone to replicate it in five tries.
You can do the knot many times and they still will NOT get it. Just be VERY quick and don't show how you twist and rotate your wrists. Make it as fast as possible.
The hand IS quicker than the eye,
Once you have had several drinks, you can give them a chance by slowing it down some. They STILL will not get it. Usually.
Be prepared for anger and frustration!
Thank you, brother! I've been trying to figure this out for awhile. Short video, to the point, and easy to follow along with. I can now tie this knot with ease.
Right before bed I was practicing this and my daughter saw me do it and said "I want to learn the Moana rope"
She's five and I showed her the video and she got it in a couple of minutes.
Great demonstration and a wonderfully fast way to tie a very useful knot!
I learned this from a boatswain mate in the navy. He called it a gopher bowline because it was so hard to untie, you had to “gopher” a hatchet to get it apart.
Even with the slow motion, my dude overboard is dying 200% of the time.
Just throw him that donut life preserver and say, "good luck!"
Just give the dude credit and move on. It’s not like he’s on here being a prick or anything. Can’t the internet ever be nice?!
@@jtjt4827 Prick
Stop throwing him the anchor line ;-)
@@williamharshman9572 right😂 like what navy is this dude working in 200% fatality in man overboard is literally ignorant. We had a guy go over once and it took us twice as long, and the dude didn't even die ONCE! 🤣
This is so amazing! from Seoul Korea.
Thank you! I shared this with our Maritime Museum Volunteer FB page!
It is not a true bowline but works the same.
I believe this is actually a anglers loop. It's important to practice this and any rescue knot. The speed this knot can B tied is incredible. Thanks for sharing.
That's another name for it, yes.
Son-of-a-gun! That is slicker than snot! I am a reformed commercial fisherman and I've always loved knots, but this is a first. REALLY COOL!
If the man that fell over board is the Mail Man who bares a striking resemblance to my son, I won't be needing this ... Great video, by the way
Thank you, very quick and efficient.
That is great tool to have in the sailing arsenal. Surprisingly a lot of boaters don't know the tug boat bowline. I learned this knot years ago from a retired Chief Boatswainmate in Bayonne NJ. Thanks for reminding me; I will have to practice a little and get up to speed. A very fast and worthwhile knot.
The Bayonne Bridge is closed for reconstruction - Please use an alternate route.😂
Excellent video!
Very very impressive mate and your reason for needing to know is spot on . Off to practice.😉🖒
Coolest video of the week!
Thanks for sharing this trick with us and I appreciate it so much and will be using it.
This is the Tugboat Bowline aka the Flying Bowline. It's not a true Bowline and most people recommend that you don't use it in a life or death situation because its too easy to screw up. Take the extra second to tie a real bowline.
Why didn't I read this post before I learned....
What sorcery is this.
haha that wus a good comment!!
Isaiah Weinman that's not funny
Awesome comment!
He's a wizard
Amazing, most fantastic way to tie a bowline, thanks
In the Fishing world this is known as the "Perfection Loop" and is popular with fly fishermen.
I've been looking for someone who knows this knot. My daddy showed me this way in the early 70's
If I fall overboard, hope you're on the same boat to tie that cool knot.
These knot videos are the best, thanks
Cool Mark. Please demonstrate the one handed bowline; as it is truly a lifesaver. If for example, you are rock climbing, unlike the figure eight, I'm told it can be done, but I've never got it down. cheers
It's perfection loop most commonly used in fly fishing
That is so cool. I tried it and I did it on the 3rd try. Albeit somewhat sloppy but I was impressed with what I did after the 3rd try.
Its a neat trick to know.
Nothing short of badass.
Dude, I tried this and ended up hog tied myself....
🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
It's almost like a double ended bowline
@KyleCarrington Hello. I just up loaded the one hand bowline. Thanks for watching. Mark
I believe it’s know as the shipyard bow line saw it in a video a while ago and it can be tied much faster. It’s easy to do in the blink of an eye with a couple minutes practice I had it dawn. Never use it tho I’d just use a normal bow line.
My Captain ( Jerry Donnelly ) aboard the Dorothy Moran can do it but I've still not been able to master it this fast.
Also called an Anglers Loop
I worked on a tugboat many years ago and we had to tie a proper bowline fast in all conditions
Almost as fast as that shown , never forgot it It becomes automatic
I don’t think the method shown would cut it in a howling wind on a heaving deck
That's impressive for sure.
In the Coast Guard we called that a "speed bowline" Thanks for the memory..
How was your time in the coast guard?
I'm 28 and thinking of a new path, to help others and for a sense of comraudery.
Would you recommend it?
@@jayadams9794 No WE did not. We called them Tugboat Bowlines.
@@jhonyermo thanks, only guy in the coast guard.
Awesome. Thank you
Every boy scout into knots just wants to practice to get that speed of tying knots
I know many knots from being a longshoreman..my favorite is the wagoneers hitch..
A.k.a the Perfection Loop or Angler's Loop.
Nice technique for tying it too.
Cool as hell though, good for impressing people. ;)
Thank you !
he mentions a couple times that it is a tugboat bowline (tugboat bowline a perhaps?) so yes it's not a "true" bowline but if performed correctly is still extremely useful. I'm having difficulties in that many times when I perform it it capsizes into some strange knot or even a slip knot. I'm sure practice makes perfect but my advise is make sure you have a real tugboat bowline at the end!
😂
It does look slick but is an imprecise and lengthy process, easily hampered by adverse conditions, such as rain, wind and movement of the boat in wavey conditions.
Fun to practice for showing off but toally unreliable in an emergency.
Thank you. Great video.
Great video, This will give me something to keep me busy for a while , I'm sure.
One of my loggers showed me this and he's no boatman. I call it the logger bowline.
The MWGUBB bowline.
Youz guys both get thumbs up for being good sports!!👍👍
DAMN boy, that was quick.
you SURE you don't have any super powers??
Pretty impressive speed, I can barely tie a bowline anyway. An even faster solution is already have a loop tied in a line, get a water toy tow rope, advantage it FLOATS, or use a dock line with a premade loop. People should have a line ready to go just in case of emergency. And really a heaving line to save a person needs to float, most lines sink, what use is that. A line tied to ring buoy that is handy to have ready to go. And some of those cheap ropes rot in sunlight, so get lines that are UV resistant, a pool safety rope blue and white is treated to prevent sun damage. A sun damaged rope turns to powder and will break.
Nice! Thanks.
The Flying Bowline probably predates tugboats & has been around for centuries (since 'rope' was first plaited). The Boy Scouts have the Flying Bowline as one of their knot tests (1908)
What kind of flipping matrix stuff was that!! Even in slow motion, am baffled
Fantastic. One can only imagine how long it took to master that.
thirty seconds ,,, ive just done it ,, what a handy knot.
Sweet -- well done
Awwwww Maaaaan! don't be giving away my BAR tricks! Great Job. I always refuse to do it twice! ;-)
Hey man that’s a cute dog!
Thank you
That's sum good ol' boy shtuff
I want this guy on my team
The knot shape looks same as Angler's loop. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angler%27s_loop
This is also called (for some reason) a TUGBOAT bowline. It's quick to learn, quick to deploy and bombproof. Great video of how easy it is to 'throw' together. Learning it takes a few tries, but once you easily master it, it'll be a go to knot you'll often use.
Whoa..that was fast..I'm gonna have to work on this one
Let me see you do this on a heaving deck, with waves washing over....
Neat trick, but I don't think many will master it.
a useful one.....not just for water rescue situation.
Omg you saved my life a car vas hittin me. Just jokin u r good at knots
Best I've seen on you tube
Very cool.
Awesome! It'll work in a pinch
It is an Angler's Loop.
Got it the first couple of tries.....after that it was too inconsistent to be useful unless you have a perfect rope. Moving on
I was first shown this knot by a recruit, US Marine getting his uniform done while crossing over to the Navy, I was training for service week in the Navy in 1998. I just looked at him with this stupid look on my face. He looked at me and smiled, "You need to see that again?" I was like "Yes, yes I do." He showed it again. His division RDCs, my division RDCs, and myself had to simply chalk it up to "Voodoo."
nice job
Was called a running bowling when I was in the Navy
Awesome Mark
I have found the bowline impossible to repeat under duress, so this is great.
Woah... How long did you have to practice before you could do that reliably?
-jcr
that's how ya git to Carnegenee Haul. practice.
we called it the flying bowline. we never trusted it, preferring to take the extra couple of seconds to tie the more common actual bowline.
Only one objection to the video might be that standing, walking on or pushing rope into the ground is a very big no no in climbing, rescue and fire service work or in the construction industry. Degrading expensive rope lines by introducing grit and dirt and grinding it into the fibers of the rope is to be always avoided, microscopic tearing and cutting reduces the safety factor designed into the rope. Degraded rope then becomes a life safety issue if used. Don't tread on rope, period.
Wow that is cool, thank you for the video.
I am told that there is a way of tying a bowling around your waist using one hand only if you are in the water and are thrown a line. A friend who was in the merchant navy said this was true but he couldn't remember the technique unfortunately. Not this method, evidently!
I have another video showing the one hand bowline. Here is a link.
