CONT

On utilise le nœud de bosse pour frapper un cordage sur un autre quand la traction qu'on compte y exercer est parallèle (ou peu s'en faut) à la direction du premier. Ce sera, par exemple, pour soulager une manœuvre engagée ou lorsqu'on désire la transférer sous tension d'un point de fixation à un autre.
