    This document provides instructions for several types of lashings used to secure spars or poles together, including: - Figure-of-eight lashing: Used to lash three spars together at the top to form a tripod. Involves doubling the rope and threading it alternately around and through the spars. - Filipino diagonal lashing: Serves the same purpose as a standard diagonal lashing but is particularly useful for thin spars. Involves wrapping and frapping turns between the spars. - Japanese square lashings Mk I and II: Easy lashings for thin spars that do not require the spars to be sprung together first. Involve

    Figure-of-Eight Lashing Double the lashing rope, pass the bight


    You’ve seen a tripod? Well, the tripod is around the two spars, and then thread the
    made by lashing three spars together with two ends of the rope through the bight and,
    a figure-of-eight lashing. This lashing is as with a Timber Hitch, draw the two spars
    also used for making a gyn, which is a together. Then continue as with the normal
    tripod used with block and tackle for diagonal lashing with two wrapping turns
    lifting heavy weights. around both spars and then two wrapping
    turns through the opposite angle.
    The figure-of-eight is for lashing three
    spars together at the top when the bottom
    ends are to be opened out to make a tripod.
    Lay the spars alongside one another, tie a
    Clove Hitch around one of the outside
    spars, and twist the running end around the
    standing part of the rope. Now go over and
    under the three spars with the rope
    alternatively (A) like a figure-of-eight for
    seven or eight times (B). Frap between
    each spar, and finish off with a Clove
    Hitch (C) on the opposite outside spar to
    the one on which you started.

    Unlike most other lashings, with the


    figure-of-eight lashing the wrapping turns
    and the two frapping turns should not be
    tight as the lashing tightens when the legs
    of the tripod are opened out.

    Japanese Square Lashing MK II

    As with the normal square lashing and the


    Japanese Square lashing Mark I, the Mark
    II lashing is used when it is not necessary
    to spring the spars together before lashing
    them.

    It is probably the simplest of all the


    lashings to tie and the fastest.

    Double the lashing rope and place the


    bight around the back of the upright spar
    above the crosspiece. Take the two
    running ends over the horizontal spar and
    cross them at the back of the upright spar
    (A). Bring them forward and over the
    horizontal spar and cross them at the back
    of the upright spar. Continue in this
    fashion until you have made four
    wrappings.

    Make two frappings by crossing the rope


    ends and making the turns around the
    lashing between the spars. Pull the
    frappings tight. Finish with a Reef Knot.

    Double the rope. Start by passing the bight


    formed in the middle of the lashing rope
    around the underneath spar and then with
    the two running ends of the double rope
