===Diagonal lashing===

'''Diagonal lashing''' is a type of lashing used to bind [[spar (sailing)|spar]]s or poles together, to prevent racking. It gets its name from the fact that the wrapping turns cross the poles diagonally and is used to spring poles together where they do not touch as in the X-brace of a trestle.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Green |first=Larry |date=14 December 2014 |title=Traditional Diagonal Lashing |url=https://scoutpioneering.com/2014/12/14/traditional-diagonal-lashing/ |publisher=scoutpioneering.com}}</ref>
