Actually although it’s Called a Bowline (Tug boat bowline) it’s actually a form of a Angler’s Loop. The reason people say it should not be used as a replacement of a actual bowline is not because it will come undone as it probably won’t. It’s because it can’t be undone under load or even after it is loaded without much difficulty. A bowline is the king of knots because it can be undone as easy as its tied. BUT it is a useful knot when you need a loop fast (like before you toss a line to a man overboard) it’s not really a bowline but it’s a knit that could save your life. (Or someone else’s)
Tying this knot is like doing a magic trick lol. This is also the first actually good tutorial of this method that I've seen. You can't imagine how poorly and inscrutibly some people try to explain this method. Thanks, matey!
I was getting a new job on a commercial dragger one time and the captain approaches me on deck as I’m handling some line and asked me seriously if I could tie a bowline. I bust this flying one out thinking I was slick and got the interview ‘cinched’. The captain stares at it and looks at me and goes: “never tie that fucking thing on my boat again” and walks back into the house without another word🤣
I love rope, I love knots and how many different functions each one has and this is like chocolate to me😂 I cant get enough of learning new ways to tie knots! Thanks for this bro 🤙
This is the same knot for making an eye on a fishhook leader. No idea what it is called, but I learned it on a day fishing boat when I was a wee lad, several decades ago. Won’t slip with monofilament.
You can make two more types of loops using this method. If you wind the rope end around twice, you'll get a symmetrical double dragon loop. If you twist your left hand (palm side down) and pull the right ear through, you'll get an angler's loop (perfection loop).
Thank you for the raw speed! I was looking for this in a non slowed down version. You nail it and make it look so elegant and beautiful as it should. Good job teaching 🐘
The angler's knot, perfection loop or flying bowline is perfect for very thin fishing lines. A heavy loaded perfection loop in a f.e. sailing rope is impossible to untie. Cheers
@@tonyloechte9994 No, that's completely another knot and has nothing to do with inside or outside end. This is a perfection loop or Angler's knot, that's completely different. There are 11x different bowlines you can tie, but this is non of them.
I knew some European search and rescue guys that called it the rescue bowline. A fastly assembled loop that could be thrown to someone in next to no time. Definitely not a true bowline, but a good skill to have on the menu for just in case scenarios.
I know it as “tugman’s bowline”. Used to quickly make a loop to pass to a dock hand to go around a cleat on the dock, so the dock hand isn’t responsible for the knot. I also use it in fly fishing for the back end loop on a leader, known there as a “perfection loop”.
@The Sailing Academy - you, sir, are a knot wizard!! I have never seen a knot created so effortlessly and simply. A thing of great beauty. Thank you so much for sharing. Regards from Northern Ireland. 😀👍☘️
I learned to tie a perfection knot as part of making a rescue line, but from the remarks of more knowledgeable knot tyers here, it maybe wasn't the best choice?
A "Flying Bowline", as you call it, is apparently a much different version of a Bowline. Personally i can't ever imagine differing from the Bowline for this version.
How does this stack up against the bowline? I'll be trying to learn this shortly regardless. As a full time live aboard sailor myself I see the bowline as a sailors best friend. Never comes undone on its own (baring plastic rope🤮) and almost never gets hard to untie. I've done it blind upside down and underwater (within my very limited breath holding time) tying off to an anchor/mooring. But if this is secure I definitely like the idea of being able to tie it in a split second. Sometimes time is short.
Curious, doesn’t the running end pass through in a downwards direction rather than going out the side like that? To clarify, I don’t think it’s going to change the load strength/weaken the rope anymore or less.
I thought that the bitter end was the end not being used and the working end is where you attach the load. Maybe it is different in the arboriculture world.
Unless you practice the flying bowline a lot, it's not a very practical knot. However, we use it to quickly put a bowline in the end of a line when we are docking (ie tying to a piling)
He should mention that his instructions are only effective with this line that he is using, you have to change your lengths for different diameter lines and for stiff lines.
This is a super cool technique. However..NOT a bowline..! The "tag end" does NOT follow / retrace loop.. This is proof of NOT a bowline. Anglers knot perhaps.. I'm not sure..?
@@WingNutMike yeah, it’s funny, I learned this knot, this way, from a Cadet at West Point when I was there at a Boy Scout Camporee…he called it a mariners hitch, and I searched for a long time on YT and finally saw it done by a tugboat guy…took awhile longer to realize it was a Perfection Loop, just quicker.

Glad you enjoyed! Hope you will win some points with this boaters party trick 😎

Because he had never seen it done so easily before .
His brain going , WTF !!!!
Because its not a bowline
If I was on a boat then this is exactly how I’d want my captain to act. Anything else is tawdry and unacceptable.
That's hilarious
Not a bowline actually…was taught to me as a tug boat bowline….but not….one handed bline woulda been just as fast and a bowline…
Я обожаю эту петлю !!!Именно за молниеносный способ вязки !!
I love rope, I love knots and how many different functions each one has and this is like chocolate to me😂 I cant get enough of learning new ways to tie knots! Thanks for this bro 🤙
Great knot thanks for this , . explanation was great and I got it first time , then repeated it another 20 to be sure to be sure.
That is the most impressive knot tying i have ever seen! 👏👏👏👍😁

Cool stuff. I've found that if you throw a double loop around it, it will lock in place and not be a slipknot.
Cool! Thanks for sharing! 👍✌️🇬🇧

That looks like a better not, thanks.
You could also just tie a normal bowline.
That was easy :) Thanks, learned something today
Outstanding.
I always wondered how the Dutchman got his handle.
Really, awesome!
Is this knot really the corellation?
Got it on my first try, using about 3 feet of paracord! Very cool! Thanks!
Thank you for the raw speed! I was looking for this in a non slowed down version. You nail it and make it look so elegant and beautiful as it should. Good job teaching 🐘
I saw a boy scout dad do this 20 years ago (he was former navy), I tried to find it on Google years ago but couldn't, thanks for sharing!
That’s because it’s the wrong name.
20 years ago Google was a Pizza Restaurant
В первый раз такую вязку вижу. 👍
Also called a tugboat bowline. A PO2 showed me this one when I was in the Navy.
Did this about 10 times, got the hang of it, quick and easy, hopefully i remember it
I believe I have heard this called "angler's knot" and it's actually a much better knot than a bowline just harder to untie.
Harder to untie totally defeats the purpose of a bowline
A traditional bowline is still a stronger knot! And easier to untie after being under load. Cheers!
Just when you think you know how to do a bowline. There's a better way!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Nicely done!
I was an arborist for 25+ years and the bowline is a staple knot used all day long. As cool as this looks its not a true bowline.
Yes, true. A "flying bowline" is also referred to as an angler's knot.
The angler's knot, perfection loop or flying bowline is perfect for very thin fishing lines. A heavy loaded perfection loop in a f.e. sailing rope is impossible to untie.
Cheers
Yep the tail should be inside the loop 😊

Flying bowline.
That’s excellent. Never seen one done that way.

Correct , and it is not a Bowline.
Nice! I subscribed just cause ya made this short! 🎉 p.s. sounds like you say grab the bitter end perfect! .🎉🎉
Learned this from Shipyard Riggers. Very cool.
Finally!!! Thanks Captain Phinn!
That is freckin awesome!!
I apologize for being slow Skip, can you do this again in slow motion? Thank you Sir.
COOL !!! 👍
My most used knot and you just made it soo much easier...
Awesome 😊 fun, Thank you
@The Sailing Academy - you, sir, are a knot wizard!! I have never seen a knot created so effortlessly and simply. A thing of great beauty. Thank you so much for sharing. Regards from Northern Ireland. 😀👍☘️
Nice job. You make it look so easy 👍
Fun fact: this is one wrap away from a double dragon loop; a close relative of a perfection loop.
That’s amazing dude!
This is fantastic !!
Well instructed my friend 👍
Pretty cool captain
Is there a specific use case for this particular knot and conversely, is there a specific do not use this case for this knot?
I learned to tie a perfection knot as part of making a rescue line, but from the remarks of more knowledgeable knot tyers here, it maybe wasn't the best choice?
This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for! Thank you
Back in 1988 an old timer Ironworker showed me this , and I’ve been using it since.
what do you use this knot for or what applications/situations are optimal to use it in? thanks in advance / for sharing!
A "Flying Bowline", as you call it, is apparently a much different version of a Bowline. Personally i can't ever imagine differing from the Bowline for this version.
I intuitively agree, but I haven’t tried this version
could be handy I spose
Yes, it is different. It is also called an angler's knot.
Nice video, thank you
My grandfather was in the navy he taught me this but he called it the rollin bowline great vid
Well executed!
INCREDIBLE!!!🎉
The bowline is permanently wired into my muscle memory. I literally use it every day. I have to learn this method.
This is a more permanent knot known as the perfection knot or the anglers knot.
Волшебник!👍🤔
wow! this elephant nose method even more funny than bear gyrlls ribbit up the hole n around the three method. both are very great idea. 😱👍👍👍

Awesome!
Guys don't try to catch perfection by trying learning this knot when you still struggling with the original bowline version!
Skills!!!
that is such a cool knot.
That'd be a perfection knot
Almost, but not quite. The tail end goes through the other way.
Dude thats so cool
is that the knot that if you mess up on and someone gets hurt you are to blame?
Awesome knot
Incredible, truly a lost art keep it up
Now that surely has to impress the ladies 😉
Aka, "angler's knot" or "perfection loop".
Why so many friggin names for 1 knot
Looks like a perfection loop
I believe it is a perfection loop. But never saw it tied in such a cool way.
That was awesome
Curious, doesn’t the running end pass through in a downwards direction rather than going out the side like that?
To clarify, I don’t think it’s going to change the load strength/weaken the rope anymore or less.
WOW!!
I just hope I can remember that when the spinnakers whipping around…
I thought that the bitter end was the end not being used and the working end is where you attach the load. Maybe it is different in the arboriculture world.
@@No-One-of-ConsequenceIf that is the origin, it would make sense that the bitter end of the rope is the end not being used.
@@No-One-of-Consequence but the standing end is bitter about not being used.
That was smooooooth.
And what/how would you use this on/for? Thanks!
Unless you practice the flying bowline a lot, it's not a very practical knot. However, we use it to quickly put a bowline in the end of a line when we are docking (ie tying to a piling)
I was taught this as a Scout, but it was called a steamboat hitch.
Perfection loop
Can you make it and use it on the sheet of a sail?
This looks more like a perfection loop. It's used for fly fishing
Awesome 😎
How come it looks like a PERFECTION LOOP and NOT a bowline???
...even the manner it is tied is very much like the perfection loop.
How can this be used?
Awesome buddy!
Can you do a similar method with a running bolin
He should mention that his instructions are only effective with this line that he is using, you have to change your lengths for different diameter lines and for stiff lines.
Finally someone who shows me this fpv.
Not a bowline.
This is a super cool technique. However..NOT a bowline..!
The "tag end" does NOT follow / retrace loop..
This is proof of NOT a bowline.
Anglers knot perhaps.. I'm not sure..?
Is this knot reliable or strong enough for an emergency?
That depends on the emergency. We have used it in a couple emergencies before.
However, emergencies always come down to proper training.
Classic!❤
Ashley’s Book of Knots calls this an Anglers Loop or a Perfection Loop.
You are correct sir. Still one hell of a cool way to tie a perfection loop!
@@WingNutMike yeah, it’s funny, I learned this knot, this way, from a Cadet at West Point when I was there at a Boy Scout Camporee…he called it a mariners hitch, and I searched for a long time on YT and finally saw it done by a tugboat guy…took awhile longer to realize it was a Perfection Loop, just quicker.
I don't think it's a perfection loop though. It would be a "Tugboat B" loop.
@@craigmcqueen7992Correct.
Should do this in slow motion
As impressive and cool as this looks, I don't think that is a true bowline.
Honest question... Why do we need such fancy knots to tie things?
wow!!!! amazing!
Very cool, but if a down rigger ever sent me that knot I'd make sure they weren't on the next gig.
LOL. 100% never send me this knot or you're fired.
That's really fun to do.
I remember being taught that 40 years ago. Back than it was called throwing a bowline.
Am I really hearing "bitter end" or do I need to make an appointment?
This is so cool 😎
What kind of line are you using?
I'm gonna practice that
Perfection loop for fishing mono lines that is. 😂
But it’s now a bowline. It’s. Tug boat bowline. Very cool though. :-)
Well that's pretty neat
