Figure 242.—Savaii suspensory attachment of boom and float:

1, boom; 2, float; 3, fore pegs; 4, aft pegs, back views: a, completed attachment, showing two sets of turns around float, made between fore (3) and aft pegs (4); b, showing sennit braid turns. The braid is fixed to the boom and makes the first turn (5) around the float, but it passes over the boom on the same aft side; passing over the boom to the front, the braid makes a second turn (6) around the float and returns up over the boom on the same front side. The two series are continued on either side of the boom until sufficient turns have been made. A series of half hitches (7) are made around the two limbs of the first set (5) and the braid passes directly across to make a series of half hitches (8) around the two limbs of the second series (6), which completes the attachment.
