Hey Bob,
We talked about the rolling hitch being the 'knot of choice' for the bitter 
end of the leach reefing line on the boom, if one didn't want to make holes 
in the boom for a fairlead or track and car.
I found a 'new' book of knots- 'The Complete Book of Knots' by Geoffrey 
Budworth.  Unlike most books I like, this one is still in print!!  On page 50 
there is a variation of the rolling hitch which looks even more secure for 
our application.
Looks like  a great book in general for the knot lover.  Wander over to 
Barnes and Noble or the like, or the library one rainy day to take a look.
enjoy,
Lee
