Thanks so much for the easy explanations, I can now do a Bowline. And judging by the comments there's 2 of them so learned the one you have taught which is what we were using already but now I can do it. The way you have explained the knots was really easy for me to follow thankyou

Does round turn and two half hitches knot have another name?

[@NautilusSailing]

Not that we're aware of. There are variations like the anchor hitch or the backhand hitch, but they are different knots.

That bowline is wrong...

[@NautilusSailing]

There are two ways to do a bowline, a traditional where the line comes inside the bight, and the outside, the later is called a cowboy bowline, and we don't advise that because it can get caught on things especially when tying your jib sheets.
Do tell, what's wrong about it?

[@PhilipBendeich]

@@NautilusSailing not wrong, just different. I'm aware of at least three ways to tie a bowline, and I'm just an amateur.

We have a saying, "If you ask 4 captains their opinion on something, you'll get at least 5 answers."

Bowline is not correct

[@NautilusSailing]

Nope, it's a bowline. There are two types, a "cowboy" bowline and this one. Both are correct.
