Many thanks! I’ve been in the habit, for many years now, of keeping a spool of nylon twine around for light-duty fastenings like these, but you’re right, it’s slippery stuff! I’m wondering what kind of cord you prefer? The texture of the stuff in the photos makes me think of cotton?

I can’t claim to have come up with any of the cinches. I often watch how-to videos and occasionally find things that would be useful in boating pursuits. I found a few bushcraft Youtube channels that featured the cinches. I didn’t find any of them in Ashley’s Book of Knots and thought they might be unknown in boating circles.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen it. Whatever gave you the idea?
