Abstract

A rope holder includes a body having anchoring means facilitating attachment to a member. The free end of a rope leading from an object to be tied down, is threaded through a first aperture and then a second aperture, both formed in the body. Also formed in body is a V-shaped notch having its wide end in open communication with the second aperture. The rope is pulled tight through the two apertures and then moved laterally out of the second aperture into the slot, where it is wedged to maintain the desired rope tightness.
