The Sheet Bend is a classic knot used to join two ropes of unequal thickness, making it one of the most practical and dependable knots in ropework and rescue. It’s tied by forming a bight (a U-shaped bend) on the thicker rope, then passing the thinner rope through the bight, around both sides, and back under itself. This design creates a secure connection that holds firmly under load, yet can be untied easily even after being tightened. 🧭 Where It’s Used: ✅ Sailing and rigging ✅ Rescue and haul
