Killick Hitch This gets its name from a "killick," a block of stone used as an anchor for a small boat. Sometimes the stone is encased in a loose "crate," but the hitch is the same in either case. The Kiltkk Hitch is practically the
same as the Half Hitch and the Timber Hitch combined, but usually a few more turns are taken with the rope end, some extra length being allowed for this. Since it is used in water, the rope tends to swell, making this a perman~ ent fastening rather than a temporary job.
