What is the Jury Mast Knot For? The Jury Mast Knot is more useful than you think! This is a great knot to act as a sling for lifting heavy objects. Once the Jury Masthead Knot is tied, you end up with a form of sling that has four handholds.
Art of Knotting and Splicing, by Day; United States Naval Institute , was my guide when I first learnt about this knot.
How to Tie the Jury Mast Knot - How to Tie the Jury Masthead Knot was used to create this video.
Ashley's Book of Knots 1167 says the following; 1167. The Masthead Knot or Jury Mast Knot is often found within “fancy knots.” Mainly because it is decorative, also this knot is not often used for practical purposes. The original use for this knot was to form strap around a temporary masthead to which stays could be held tightly. The knot has good binging properties and offers several loops to which the stays are secured with Becket Hitches.
I personally think that the Jury Mast Knot is a useful one to know, as there are often times when a heavy awkward load does need shifting.
The Jury Mast Knot can also be made into a decorative mat: youtu.be/3nVUiEW7JZM
