Sheet Bend
Purpose: The sheet bend is used to join two ropes of different thicknesses or materials together.
Why It’s Important: This knot is versatile and reliable for tying lines of different sizes or materials, which can be useful in various boating scenarios, such as tying off a mooring line to a thicker dock line.
Caution: Like the bowline knot, this knot will also come undone if there is no load on the knot and it is being shaken around. Put in an extra half hitch around itself on each end
