What is this knot on the black jib halyard slide? I can't identify it, I like it.

What knot(s) would you use to attach the jib head to this jib halyard slide on my FF4 furler?

Thanks,

It’s a little hard to see the construction of that knot. Can you find an example of it on “illustrated knots . com”.
Many people have a short wire rope from the head ring to the furler swivel. For your application I’d used a bowline on both ends. This prevents the loop from jamming so that at the end of the season you can easily undo the knot. The risk is a bowline could work itself loose over time. As an alternative I also like a fisherman’s bend. To tie, take the line and put it through the ring then make two passes. Then take the bitter end and pass it through the two loops. Afterwards take the bitter end and make a hitch. This knot will never give way.

Here’s a video of the fisherman’s bend knot.

This is NOT to be confused with a fisherman’s knot.

Looks like a simple bowline to me:

I use the Halyard Hitch... works as the name implies. Here is a link to it on the animated knot site:

Patrick, Bruce, thank you for all the reference material. Perfect. I think I'll use that halyard knot on the jib track car, and then on the jib itself.

Best,
