How to Tie A Sheet Bend

This versatile knot can be used to join two lines of different dimensions, like a heaving line to a large mooring line. Or instead of tying two bowlines, a sheet bend is quick and easy and does not jam.

    I was taught that a sheet bend joins ropes of the same diametre and a double sheet bend is used for lines of different diametres. Both knots are really useful so nothing wrong here. :-)

    Interesting! We teach a square knot for the lines of equal size. I love a double-sheet bend when it counts, or is in the water.

    Did you mean this to be a "short"?

    Actually, we're experimenting. One short one normal, to see the difference in reach.
