Buntline hitch
The buntline hitch is a knot used for attaching a rope to an object. It is formed by passing the working end around an object, then making a clove hitch around the rope's standing part, taking care that the turns of the clove hitch progress ''towards'' the object rather than away from it. Secure and easily tied, the buntline hitch will jam when subjected to extreme loads. Given the knot's propensity to jam, it is often made in slipped form.
== History ==
Simple and effective, the buntline hitch dates to the age of sail, when it was used to secure buntlines to the foot of the sails〔Brion Toss, ''Chapman's Nautical Guides: Knots'' (New York: Hearst Marine Books, 1990), 39.〕〔Clifford W. Ashley, ''The Ashley Book of Knots'' (New York: Doubleday, 1944), 310.〕 on square-rigged ships. That the buntline hitch was the preferred knot speaks to its security and reliability.〔〔Geoffrey Budworth, ''The Complete Book of Knots'' (London: Octopus, 1997), 51.〕 Once set, repeated jerking and slatting tend to tighten it further rather than loosen it.〔Des Pawson, ''Pocket Guide to Knots & Splices'' (Edison, NJ: Chartwell Books, Inc., 2002), 133.〕 Its compact size allowed the foot of the sail to be drawn up as closely as possible to the buntline deadeyes on top of the yard.
It has gained in popularity in recent years due to its performance in slippery modern synthetic lines.〔〔
