The bay is a basic form in knot science and denotes an arch or curve in a rope .
meaning
According to Clifford W. Ashley , a bay has two meanings in knotting. On the one hand, the middle part of a rope between the loose part and the standing part is called the bay .
On the other hand, a bay describes a curve or curve in a rope. If the legs of a bay are closed, but without crossing each other, it is called a “closed” bay, otherwise it is an “open” bay.
Open bay
Closed bay
In English, a distinction is made between a shallow bay, called a bight , which is not narrower than a semicircle, and a narrow bay, called a loop
Demarcation
If the legs cross, it is an eye or a trip .
application
The bay is a basic shape and therefore part of many nodes .
Many knots can also be tied with the bay instead of a single strand, and a loop is created .
