The Reef Knot
Use the reef knot to tie two ropes of equal size together so they will not slip.
Note that the running end and standing part of one rope come out on the same side of the bight formed by the other rope.
The reef knot will not hold if the ropes are wet or if they are of different sizes.
It tightens under strain but can be untied by grasping the ends of the two bights and pulling the knot apart.
To tie a Reef Knot:
(1) Pass the right-hand running end over and under the left-hand running end.
(2) Bring the two running ends together.
(3) Pass the left-hand running end over and under the right-hand running end.
(4) Draw tight.
It makes no difference whether the first crossing is tied left-over-right or right-over-left as long as the second crossing is tied opposite to the first crossing.
