Pass the lashing
line down through
the head, out
through the cheek
and through the hub.
1.3.1
Pass the lashing
line down through
the head and out
through the cheek.
Where attachment to a large diameter object, wider than the head of the block, is required
(eg. a boom) the lashings must cross each other between the head of the block and the object.
Four strands of lashing are required to prevent the block twisting and creating a poor lead. The
strands from one side of the block should be to the outside and the strands from the other
side passing between them. See diagram 1.4.3.

Pass lashing
line in through the
opposite cheek and
back up through the
head.

line over the fixing
point. Pass back
down through the
head and out the
same cheek it last
passed through.
1.3.3
Pass lashing
line in through the
opposite cheek and
back up through the
head.
1.2.4
Pass lashing line
through the hub, in
through opposite cheek
and up through the head.
Repeat steps 1.2.1 to 1.2.3
if more than one strand is
required.

To finish attachment
tie a bowline above
the block. Note: Knot
must be a non-slipping
(non-tightening) knot.

with appropriate
knot, splice or
whipping.

For the ultimate
clean finish use an
eye splice.
