Sheepshank
- The Sheepshank is a shortening knot, which enables a
line to be shortened non-destructively.
- The knot is only really secure under tension, it will
fall apart when slack. (See tip below.)
- Tip. Use up to five half hitches each end of the
Sheepshank to make the knot more secure, and for fine tuning
the shortening.
- Tip. Never cut lines to shorten them! Always
use a shortening knot such as the Sheepshank, or coil the
excess.
