Sheet Bend video tutorial description.
A sheet bend is used to tie two lines of unequal diameter to each other. The most common use for this is to tie a heaving line to a mooring line.
▶ Sheet Bend - Simple Tying Instructions:
1. Form a loop at the end of the larger line. ( If there is no loop)
2.Bring the free end of the smaller joining line from under the loop of the larger line.
3.Wrap the small line around the back of both parts of the larger line.
4. Bring the smaller line back under itself. ( Not through the loop of the larger line)
5. Pull tight.
6. If you are concerned, you can do a double sheet bend with one more turn of the tail of the smaller line.
