cross lashing

The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea | 2006 | 269 words | Copyright

cross lashing, a method of lashing with a rope in which the consecutive turns, instead of lying close up against each other in the same direction, are crossed diagonally. This type of lashing, by binding in upon itself with each turn, is less liable to give or render.
