Incorrect redirect

[edit]

Gripping sailor's hitch should not redirect to Sailor's hitch (a different knot).
Instead, it should be removed, and Gripping Sailor's hitch moved to its place.

ABoK

[edit]

Gripping sailor's hitch does not appear to be ABoK 1688 [p.293].

It looks closest to the hitches in Chapter 22 Hitches to Masts, Rigging, and Cable (Lengthwise Pull) [p.297], but is not exactly like any of them, to my eye at least.
