'''Canonical Name''': Carrick Bend 
'''Category''': [[bend]] 
'''Efficiency''': Unknown % 

== Origin ==
Ancient. The name comes from Carrick Roads - a large natural anchorage by Falmouth in Cornwall, England. Carrick is also a local government district in Cornwall and the knot is the emblem of Carrick District Council.

The name is also said to have been derived from the [[Carrack]], a medieval type of ship.

== Uses ==
Securing two lines, particularly heavy ropes or decorative purposes.

== Tying ==
[[Image:Double coin knot.jpg|thumb|This decorative knot has the same [[topology]] as the carrick bend above, as can be seen by tracing the paths of the outermost blue and red lines.]]
See article/pictures.

Considered to be one of the most secure bends. Will not jam (i.e. can be untied easily) even after carrying a significant load and/or getting wet.

Unless the two free ends are lashed (seized) to the two standing parts, the knot will collapse into a different shape under load, which does not reduce its strength in any way. It is very important when lashing, that ''both'' ends are lashed, or else the bend will slip.

In the decorative version, both standing ends enter from the top and
both working ends exit from the bottom, with the knot being flattened
out (though the [[topology]] remains unchanged). In this configuration
the knot is known as the ''Josephine knot'' ([[macrame]]) or
''double coin knot'' ([[Chinese knotting]]). It is often tied in double lines for a flatter, more elaborate appearance.
