A Bowline on the Bight is a knot tied in the middle of a line, instead of at the end of a line, that resembles a bowline, but is not a true bowline.
This is made by grasping the line so it is doubled, pulling the loop portion down - let it hang, then grasp the doubled linewith your right hand, palm facing away, and twist your hand to palm facing, forming a loop, similar to the first loop formed for a typical bowline;
- next, bring the hanging doubled end up through the loop just made, just short distance, which now creates a hanging doubled loop;
- open the end loop that was pulled through and pass it up, over, and down around the large loop, pulling it up to the upper hanging portion above the first loop;
- pull tight, and you have a Bowline on the Bight
It could be a hangman's noose, a bowline, a bowline on a bight, a double bowline, an overhand bight, or any number of other knots.
a single bowline on a bight is used when the bitter end of a line (rope for non-sailors) isn't availible. It, in essence alows one to put a temporary eye in a line without the bitter end.

The bowline is used to attach a rope to a sale to hold it in place. The beauty of the bowline is that it is easy to undo after huge loads have been on it, it easy to tie, and it does not slip. When you're out in a storm at night, you want a knot that you can tie blindfolded, and also undo for that matter. It is also useful for making a loop that will not pull tight.
Constrictor knot * There are many, depending upon what you are trying to do - the most common is a Slip Knot, which can be made with one hand in the middle of a rope in 1 second. A more secure loop that can be made and if often used by sailors, is a Bowline on the Bight.
The bowline is the life saving knot that can be tied both one and two handed.
