racking bend (plural racking bends)

  1. a type of bend knot used to join the ends of two lines or ropes of very different thicknesses. The finer cord is woven between the two stands of a bight or loop of the thicker rope, and pulled tight after each pass. Racking like this forms the basis for many other bends and knots.
