Bevan666: you raise an interesting point... with a fixed-line tie-down available, how do you prevent your bottom knot (on the fixed line) slipping along the line? Especially if there is no fixed point to attach your own lines?
I wonder if our web-footed compatriots can add anything further to the discussion? Are there particular knots you find useful in the sea-borne world?
