CONT

The Bowline on ... a bight ... consists of two parallel rigid loops which may be used individually if desired. The pull on the two ends should be approximately parallel. It is the knot generally used at sea for lowering an injured man from aloft.

DEF

Nœud servant à confectionner une chaise de calfat. Il est aussi commode pour former un œil solide au milieu d'un cordage dont les deux extrémités sont amarrées ou indisponibles pour toute autre raison.

OBS

On donne souvent «nœud de chaise double» comme équivalent à «bowline on a bight». Ce dernier fait partie d'un groupe de nœuds de chaise qui sont doubles comme le nœud de chaise double (double bowline ou french bowline) et le nœud de chaise espagnol. Il serait donc plus juste et plus précis de nommer le bowline on a bight «nœud de chaise sur le double».
