A marl beat consists of a series of simple overhand knots ( not half beats ). It is used to connect cylindrical objects. The activity of making the Marlschlag is called Marlen .

Knot

Overhand knots are tied along the sail at certain intervals.

Correctly knotted, the Marlschlag has overhand knots, which can be seen after removing the rope. The rope is always close to the "cloth". If a marl blow breaks, the sail remains attached to the spar because the loose end of the rope pinches itself.

A wrongly knotted Marlschlag with "half-strokes" only forms loose eyes after being stripped off . After the knotting, the rope sticks out from the "cloth" (on one side). If a wrongly tied Marlschlag breaks, the rope loosens completely.

  • Marlschlag as a " cable tie "

application

Sailors use marl blows to attach a sail to a spar .

Before cable ties were introduced , cable harnesses were also tied using marls , especially in communication technology .

In bondage , Marl blows are often used to fix an arm or a leg on a pole.
