Japanese lashing This lashing is applied by halfing your lashing rope and placing a loop around the upright spar below the cross spar. The two ropes are then bound around the spars in the same method as the tradition lashing except the double rope is used. When the frapping has to be applied the double rope is split and working each end frapping is applied by crossing over each rope so forming the frapping. One of the advantages of frapping this way is that you are able to get the frappings tighter because you are pulling against each other. The lashing is finished by tying a reef knot in the two ends of the lashing rope. The Japanese Lashing, so-called since it was first seen used at a Scout Training Course in Japan. |
