    And every boatyard needs a gantry. Even the micros.

    Wow! You have really ramped up production! That is just beautiful: Every single piece of it. I look forward to seeing it in the RYC yard. And yes, that Chinese Knot is a work of art itself. How he do dat?

    Doubt this is same knot but sorta similar.

    I'm not sure if these pictures would be enough for me to learn without Brion walking me thru; I might opt for something with seized ends also.

    I don't think of the Chinese Button Knot as having a loop, at least not when I've tied it per Ashley Book of Knots (ABoK) #599.

    May I suggest ABoK #787 the Sailor's Knife Lanyard Knot?

    Note the two top-left drawings in the 787 picture are for ABoK #786.

    The Sailor's Knife Lanyard knot is almost identical to the Chinese Button Knot, but has that loop I think you'd need.

    If you're just looking for a big knot, I'm also a fan of ABoK #1142, the Jar Sling Knot, whichis designed to go around a bottle, but makes a pretty big ball itself. Tying it per Ashley is sort of like a magic trick and I've always found it very satisfying with it comes together correctly. (I'm told there's a easier way to tie online somewhere, but I think that would take some of the fun out of it for me at this point.)

    Knots in modern high-tech stuff can creep a bit, so I'd mark the tails where they came out of the knot and check for creep after each of the first several heavy loads.

    The San Francisco Public Library has a copy of the Ashley Book of Knots.

    https://sflib1.sfpl.org/search~S1?/X...ORT=D&1%2C1%2C

    It's the kind of book that has
    * Chapter 3: Knob Knots, Single-Strand Stopper or Terminal Knots, page 83
    * Chapter 4: Knob Knots, Single-Strand Lanyard Knots, page 93
    * Chapter 5: Knob Knots, Single-Strand Button Knots, page 101
    * Chapter 6: Knob Knots, Multi-Strand Stopper or Terminal Knots, page 115
    * Chapter 7: Knob Knots, Multi-Strand Lanyard Knots, page 129
    * Chapter 8:Knob Knots, Two-Strand Lanyard Knots, page 139
    * Chapter 9: Knob Knots, Multi-Strand Buttons, Tied in Hand, page 155
    * Chapter 10: Knob Knots, Multi-Strand Buttons, Tied in Hand, page 165

    So I'm sure that if you borrow it, you'll find several to your liking.

    Hull and cabin top are one! Out of over 170 CNC-cut parts, there are only 3 left.

    Nice write-up from Jackie but I might be in trouble with the Potter Yachters for disparaging remarks. Hope I don't get jumped at a microcruiser event.
