What type of seizing is light and used where strain is not too great?

Flat seizing is commonly used in situations where the strain on the line is minimal. This technique involves laying a small line flat against a larger line or an object, then making a series of turns and turns and securing them with clove hitches or similar knots. This method provides a non-bulky, low-profile fastening that distributes the strain evenly without adding significant weight or bulk.

In contrast to flat seizing, cross seizing is typically used when greater strain is anticipated, while hitch seizing might not provide the same degree of security over time. Throat seizing is often used to secure the throat of a sail, but is also not suited for light loads as effectively as flat seizing. Thus, flat seizing is the best choice for light applications.
