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». 3, record 2, French, - n%26oelig%3Bud%20de%20chaise%20double%20avec%20le%20double
