Boating and sailing knots

Sheetbend

The sheetbend was used to fix the sheet in the clew: This knot is a simple solution to knot together two different sized lines.

If the diameter of the lines varies widely, it can be put also twice. It is easy to loosen then, too.


Single:


The thicker line forms a bight, the thinner one is led by the bight up from below.


 
 


The bitter end is led around under the bight and jammed.


 
 

Double:


The bitter end is led around the bight twice and fixed under itself.


 
 

Bow:


In part 3 the bitter end is replaced by a loop.


 
 


You can unknot it by tearing the end.


 
 

Extra strong:


A very thin end can be wrapped around itself twice.


 
 


This way e.g. a throw anchor can be tied up with the ship.
