How to tie onto a cleat - animation

[TalesOfTheSevenSeas]

I ran across this animation that shows how to tie onto a cleat and thought that it might be helpful...

cool.

I usually double back the last two wraps.

basically what ya do is make the loop and twist the loop half a turn before ya drop it over one end of the cleat. so line goes under its self on the return trip across the cleat.kind of hard ta discribe but easy ta do.

it keeps the line from slipping and loosening up.
