In another post (sinking line question) I referenced this knot being used for sailing. This knot (bend- in sailing terms) is used in lines to control sails. Imagine the force on this knot and its ability to hold a sail on a good stiff wind. Have never seen one let go- but then I've never sailed a hurricane.
