Deck General USCG Question #1953 (Set 61)

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

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Sheet bend

The sheet bend is the most reliable knot for joining two lines of different diameters. By creating a bight in the larger line and weaving the smaller line through it, the knot provides a secure connection that resists slipping, which is a common failure point for other knots.
