Q

Which knot is used to attach two different sized lines together?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Bend vs. hitch vs. loop – know which type of knot joins two lines together • Which knots are best for joining lines of unequal size or diameter • Common uses of square knot, granny knot, sheet bend, thief knot in seamanship

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which of these knots is specifically taught for joining two ropes together, especially when they are not the same size? • Think about which knots are considered secure and reliable in seamanship, and which are often warned against for joining lines. • Recall from basic seamanship: which knot is commonly used to tie a small line to a thicker line or a sail corner (clew)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is a bend (a knot used to join two lines), not a binding knot used for tying around an object. • Eliminate any knots that are known to be unsafe or easily capsized when used to join two ropes. • Confirm from your notes which knot is recommended when the two lines are of different diameters.
