Finally, good FIADOR knot instructions!

Heavenly Jumper · 08-06-2008, 10:22 PM

Being a sailors wife has it's perks. I was complaining about the fiador knot to my husband and he didn't know which one that was...I kind of tried to explain it and he goes "Oh! I think you mean a boatswain's whistle knot?" So I look it up and well there ya go!

Another set of instructions -

LOL!!! How 'bout that!

Glad you found something to make your life just a bit easier!

To make it even easier to learn, here's a link to an animation of how to tie it.

Huh... that's different than the instructions that I have. I mean, you get the same knot in the end, of course, but you do it differently.
Glad you found some instructions that work for you, though!

That one's a little bit different as it finishes with only one loop instead of two (for the lead to attach to).

Right, but you could use a 'double' line of rope

Interesting!! I'll have to mess with that. I haven't had a problem tying a fiador myself, but maybe this'll make it easier.
