Transom Knot
The transom knot is a simple lashing knot used to secure two linear objects, such as spars, at right angles to each other. Relation to other knots While often described in relation to the constrictor knot, the underlying structure of the transom knot is the strangle knot. The introduction of a second, perpendicular spar into a loose strangle knot tied around another spar will illustrate this point. In relation to the upper spar, the crossings of the knot come to very closely resemble those of a constrictor knot. Perhaps because of this Clifford Ashley described the transom knot as both "a modification of" and "closely related to"Ashley, p. 215 the constrictor knot. Despite these descriptions the transom knot is consistently illustrated in ''The Ashley Book of Knots'' as being based on a strangle knot.

Strangle Knot
The strangle knot is a simple binding knot. Similar to the constrictor knot, it also features an overhand knot under a riding turn. A visible difference is that the ends emerge at the outside edges, rather than between the turns as for a constrictor. This knot is a rearranged double overhand knot and makes up each half of the double fisherman's knot. See also *List of binding knots *List of knots *Clove hitch The clove hitch is a type of knot.
