Names and history

The name "slip" stek comes from the pull-up loop that is called "put on slip ". It actually only consists of this slip or loop with which a single half-beat is tied.

application

as a stopper

The Slipstek is used when something is tied or hung up quickly and temporarily, but needs to be released again quickly. However, the knot only holds up to a limited extent under changing loads. On smaller boats it is often only used with thin lines or string.

It is suitable for quick attachment to a ring or a rod. The diameter of the material should not significantly exceed the diameter of the rope. It can also be tied into a rope as a boundary or marker. In this form, it also serves as a stopper to temporarily prevent a rope from slipping through an eyelet .

The Slipstek can be used on ships if the sails that have been brought in (not set) are tied up with zisers .

It is part of the grinding knot and the mountain rescue knot and is used to fix the HMS safety device.

Knot

You put the leash through the ring. With the loose end you form a bay and use it to make a half- turn around the fixed end.

The slip piece is tied into the free rope by putting an eye on the rope and pulling the loose end through as a loop - put on slip . (The result looks like a simple overhand knot around the loose end.)
