Lashings

Lashing two spars together ■ 219, 220

Begin with a clove hitch.

Tuck the short end under the long one as you make the first turn.

Make at least two complete turns, pulling the line taut after each one.

To make it really tight, add frapping turns (at right angles) to lashing, passing between the spars.

End with a clove hitch or two half hitches.

NOTE:

Whether lashing two spars together or at right angles to each other, the method is the same.
