More than a list of names?

It would be nice if there was brief description of the use or other attribute of each hitch that distinguishes it from the others. Jake (talk) 18:10, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

This suggestion appears to have been sufficiently acted upon. WikiTryHardDieHard (talk) 18:24, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Removal or creation of non-existent knot pages

There are several knots listed on this page which do not have associated Wikipedia entries, descriptions or photos. If you have information about them, please create a page and link it, so this page becomes more complete. If you happen to know that a knot is obviously non-existent or merely a colloquialism of another knot, please remove it. WikiTryHardDieHard (talk) 18:32, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Hitch-knot or hitch

I have heard that there is a difference between knots, hitches, and bends. Do they all fall under the "knot" family? Or are they completely different things? Either way, I am placing this section here to facilitate discussion. Here is an article for your consideration: http://www.ultimatebvi.com/sailing/knots/ WikiTryHardDieHard (talk) 18:32, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Cleat (or Signalman's) Hitch

Has nobody a photo of a Cleat Hitch? It's not a difficult hitch to make, a little similar in parts to a Becket. I'm surprised it's not here... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:2C4A:1CB0:49F7:66FF:1954:3ABD (talk) 22:17, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Clove Hitch is NOT Two Successive Half-Hitches

That description is a double half-hitch. I propose, instead, this description: "Three intersecting loops that tighten when pulled". Buchskj (talk) 18:11, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
