I did a search and learned that a similar knot to the noose is used to raise & lower sails on boats. It is also used for couple of other reasons in boating, though I can’t remember what, as I’m lucky to remember reading it was used to raise and lower sails in sailing.
Not surprised. I believe people who sail use a lot of knots. I think it used to be a thing for sailors to know knots. :)
A bowline is used to tie sheet lines to a foresail clew. I can’t think of any know similar to a noose in sailing — but I don’t sail anymore.
