The Spanish Bowline forms two adjustable loops that lock into position, ideal for rescue operations or securing loads. It evenly distributes weight, making it suitable for lifting individuals (e.g., as a makeshift Bosun’s chair). In rescues, loops can be placed around legs, with additional chest support for unconscious persons. Tied in the middle of a rope, it ensures balanced strain on both loops.

Advantages

Provides even weight distribution with two fixed loops, essential for safe lifting and rescue scenarios. Works well in mid-rope applications.

Disadvantages

Complex to tie; improper tightening may cause slippage, risking safety in high-stress situations. Requires firm setup to prevent loop interference.
