The Water Bowline is a reinforced version of the standard Bowline, featuring an additional Clove Hitch for enhanced security in wet environments. It is widely used in boating and marine activities for mooring, towing, and other applications where ropes are exposed to water. The knot remains stable and resistant to slippage even when wet, making it a reliable choice for aquatic settings.
