Arrest knoths they are executed to the extremity of cables, to the scope to prevent that they become unstrung from holes or blocks. The more elementary application of i arrest nodes are the node that serves to withhold the thread in the cruna of the needle.
In marineria the arrest nodes come employ to you in the running maneuvers (sheets, halyards, etc.) and to decorative scope on tops particularly in sight. Some of they, like as an example the monkey fist, can be employ to you like nodes of increase in weight for the tops or sagole from launch. The more important arrest nodes are: the simple node, the figure eight knot, the node of the cappuccino, the node of the Franciscan, the fist of monkey.

They make part of i splice nodes those nodes that the man has used from always in the most elementary occurrences: in order to construct huts, joining liane, traps for animals, primitive crews, in order to weave, in order to interlace. To the splice nodes facility is asked for being melted after the use, and for being able to join the extremities, of two cables without to damage of the consistency, replacing the splice. Such nodes, therefore, give the possibility to use same cables or tops more times.So that the splice nodes offer a sure emergency are necessary that i used cables have the same diameter and the same property make exception to this rule the node flag that, also joining two cables of various diameter and nature, equally turns out sure. The more important nodes than splice are: reefing knot, the node of sheet or flag, the node vaccaio, the English node, double English node, the two cringles.For some nodes of splice it exists possibility of the ganciamento, which it consists in a subscriber loop that forms one eye added to the same node. The ganciati nodes more important are: the node slowly ganciato, saying matafione node of terzaruolo or and the node flag ganciato. Other nodes of splice exist, with various characteristics give those used in the seamanship, which when they are tightened cannot more, to melt. More you notice are the node of the weaver and the node of net.

Nodes by rough estimate, or cringles, they are of the buttonholes, loops or doppini sluices and knots to you nearly generally, to the extremity of a cable. To difference of the winding nodes, that they come you execute yourself directly on the object, these nodes come nearly always made in hand and then cleat passes to you around one, a hook or to a pole. Moreover the nodes by rough estimate do not overthrow n&eacuta; they are gotten out of order when they come parades to you from the object; and, since their shape is not determined from the object around which they are wrapped, more times can be used. I main nodes by rough estimate are: the lover cringle; the cringle of double lover and triple; the cringle of lover with double top; the Spanish cringle; the lover cringle ganciata; the loop of the fisherman

Gassa d'amante is known like the Queen of the nodes why it is the more important node of the seamanship; he is not good sailors if it is not known to make the cringle of lover quickly and, if it is necessary, to the buio. The node comes executed in way various to second that it is turned towards who executes it or in the inverse sense.

These nodes are call to you also loops or laces. Their characteristic is that one to tighten itself around the objects on which they are made: how much more strongly it is tradition exercised on the current the much more strongly node scorsoio tightens the object around which it is wrapped.

fact that the taken one of i nodes scorsoi it is directly proporziona them to tension of the cable constitutes more a defect that a pregio. This characteristic, in fact, limits their employment to those cases in which it is very sure that the tension of the cable is constant; to the inverse one, being become relaxed of tension of the cable renders the nodes scorsoi extremely uncertain. In conclusion, to part employs very defined, is advisable to avoid the use of the nodes scorsoi. they by rough estimate prefer to they the surest nodes from which after all they derive.

For no reason to the world must be cut one rope. One cut rope, in fact, it has lost great part of its value and no node of splice can give back them the primitive dowries of emergency and utilizzabilità. When the length of the cable is abundant regarding a particular employment it can, to resort to the nodes of shortening, than, as it says the name, they serve to shorten cables without to resort to their cut. A particular employment of shortening nodes it consists in the exclusion from I use of the worn out or damaged parts that cable had to introduce: those you leave, in fact, being included in the node of shortening, consequently remains inoperative and excluded from every effort

I pregi of the shortening nodes they derive from employs more over described. For against, they introduce some defects that will come examine to you illustrating the single ones nodes. The main nodes of shortening are: the fisherman's knot, the node simple to subscriber loop with cringle

I winding nodes, generally, they are executed directly on an object, is in order to assure something on it, is for stringergli a cable round. It is good rule while the times are executed to follow the sense of torsion of the cable. The nodes of winding they are uniforms in two groups: to the first one those nodes belong that they come you execute yourself passing to two or more times the cable around the object and inserting current and dormiente under the times; to according to group they belong those nodes that come you execute yourself passing two or more times around the object and knotting the current around the dormiente with of the average necks. They make part of first group: spoken simple, double and triple (on auction or the ring), spoken ganciato, the blackwall hitch, the node of cleat, the node of cleat ganciato. They belong to according to group: the average necks, the average neck ganciato, the node of kedgeanchor, triple double quantity and, the node of rough draft.

The art to make the nodes it has always had an importance for all the people and also in remote ages the man knew the usefullness of this art. Still today they exist tribes who construct with frames of giunco their huts, the canoes, and they prepare traps and tools knotting cordami. Beyond to the usefullness fastenings the decorative fastenings exist, that they constitute one true and own art of node. This art that between the popular limbs is between most ancient came diffused from the sailors, thought just the cultori of the nodes. In the fastening they execute various types of nodes: of winding, splice, arrest, etc.; in order to make a fastening, but series of nodes is not sufficient to execute one but it is necessary to know the nature of cables and to know to deal them.

Spirit
It is the resistant part of the trecciate ropes constituted from fibers parallels or weakly skewed.
Assuccare
To tighten one fastening, a node; to put in tension one maneuver or a cable in ban.
Block
In the marinaresco language it is sininimo of carrucola. The block can be simple, double, triple, etc., in function of the number of pulegge that they compose. The simple block is one lever of first kind and servants to change the direction with which the cables move. The multiple blocks, joined to others blocks, form the tackles, that is those rope systems that demand one minor force application in order to gain sure resistances.
Cable
In the marinaresco language it is synonymous of rope or rope.
Top
Marinaresco term used in order to indicate one rope of medium diameter.
Neck
Complete turn of a cable around an object so that the current and dormiente divarchino of 180°.
Commettitura
E' the operation of torsion of the strands that therefore joined form the cable.
Current
The feature finishes them of top that in the confection of a node has active part. running term comes used in contrast to the drawn other of top that, not taking active part in the confection of the node, it comes called dormiente.
Subscriber loop
Folding of a cable on if same. The refolded cable, after to have formed one eyelet, arranges in parallel with if same.
Dormiente
Feature of top that does not take part in the confection of the node.
Filaccia
Synthetic fiber is the product of the spinning of one vegetable or. More properly it comes called spun or strand. Two or more spin to you together skewed they form the strand. Two or more strands form the cable.
Tow-rope
Cable of large diameter (approximately 45 cm).
Splice
Union of two cables obtained interlacing between they the strands.
Wipping
Carried out to the extremities of cables so that not fastening with spago scordonino.
Intugliatura
Union of two cables by means of splice nodes.
Strand
Two or more spin to you joined for torcitura. Committing two or more strands it is obtained a cable.
