Notes
Typographical errors
Requirement 2a. Endline knots: is actually written as: "bowline figure six, figure eight on a bight". However, as there is no known "bowline figure six" knot, we can safely assume there are two typographical errors in this line... there should be a comma after bowline and six should be eight. As such, "endline knots" for this requirement should instead be written, read and interpreted as: "bowline, figure eight, [and] figure eight on a bight". (Once the official requirements changes, this note will be obsolete, but may still be retained here for those who may have older requirements books.)
