[Alberg30] "The Henry Randall Knot"

[George Dinwiddie]

Bill,

It's an easy knot.  With the fender hanging down, bend the line over the 
lifeline and back down.  Go around one side of the standing part, and 
then back up to the lifeline and down again.  Secure with a single 
half-hitch on the standing part.  I usually just pull a bight through 
for the half-hitch, so a sharp tug on the bitter end releases the knot.
