The Overhand Knot
The Overhand Knot is the simplest to tie and the mother of all knots. The advantage
of this knot is its simplicity, the disadvantage is that it doesn't hold very well.
Mostly we start with the Overhand Knot to show how all other knots are related to
it. As you will see the knots used in boating are just variations on the lowly,
basic Overhand Knot.
