Chapter 3 - Rope Knots Skills

This document discusses rope construction and types of knots. It begins by explaining how rope is constructed from fibers and strands. The main types of rope discussed are braided rope, synthetic rope, and natural rope. It then outlines the aspects of a good knot and provides examples of common knots like the reef knot, sheet bend, bowline, clove hitch, figure eight, and fisherman's knot. The purpose of each knot is described. The document aims to teach students about rope construction and different knots for joining, attaching, and securing lines.

SKILLS
BS101 (DIPLOMA IN SPORT MANAGEMENT)
KPTM
BASIC RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY (HSM3044)
AT THE END OF THIS
CHAPTER STUDENT WILL BE
ABLE TO:
 Understand the history of rope.
 Identify the types of rope and knots.
 Know the function of knots.
ROPE CONSTRUCTION
 Rope is made of short fibres spun into yarn, which is
made into flat or twisted strand.
 These strand are then twisted or braided to make the finished
rope. The final stage of the construction of a rope, together
with the material the rope is made from, will determine the
texture, flexibility, stretch & durability of the rope, as well as the
way it handles when it is used to tie knots.
 Three Strand (Laid) Rope – it is made from yarns twisted
together in one direction to make strand. Three strand are then
twisted together in the opposite direction to form rope that is
flexible & strong. It is the counteracting directions of the twists
in the rope that give it strength & produce enough friction so
that the rope holds its shape.
TYPES OF ROPE
 Braided Rope – constructed in a variety of ways. The fibres of
the braided sheath may provide the strength of the rope, or the
sheath may serve to protect the load-bearing fibres of the inner
core of the rope. Choices of Braided Rope are Multi-plait
Rope, Hollow Braid, Braid on Braid and Parallel Core.
 Synthetic Rope – synthetic fibre had been used to make
ropes that are stronger, lighter & more resistant to decompose
than natural ropes.
 Natural Rope – natural fibres derived from variety of plants.
Examples from coconut fibres, cotton, Agave Sisalana plant,
Musa Textillis leaves and etc.
ASPECT OF A GOOD
KNOTS
 Easy to tie.
 Should stay tied.
 Easy to untie.
TYPES OF KNOTS
 Reef/Square Knot -  Figure-of-Eight Knot -
Joining two ropes of general purpose stopper
same diameter knot.
 Sheet Bend - Joining two  Double Figure-of-Eight -
ropes of different often used by climbers to
diameter attach a line to carabiner
 Double Sheet Bend  Figure-of-Eight Double
Loop - More on equalizing
 Bow Line - Making a
a load
non-collapsing loop in the
end of a line  Alpine Butterfly Knot
 Clove Hitch - is to attach  Fisherman Knot - Joining
the rope to an object such thin, stiff or slippery lines
as a pole, log or plank  Double Fisherman Knot
REEF/SQUARE KNOT
(BUKU SILA)
Usage - Joining two ropes of same diameter.
SHEET BEND (BUNGA

FIGURE OF EIGHT
KNOT
 Also known as Flemish knot.

overhand knot in many cases.
