47. Tucked Sheet Bend

Also known as: One-way Sheet Bend

This version of the Sheet Bend uses a Figure 8 Knot to reverse the direction
of the working end of the thinner rope, so that it faces the same way as the
working end of the larger rope. With both working ends facing away from
the direction of movement, the knot is less likely to catch on an obstruction
if the line is dragged along the ground, and it will create less drag if towed
through the water behind a boat.

Uses: joining two lines that will be dragged or towed; dinghy painters or other towlines
Pros: more secure than standard Sheet Bend; reduced chance of catching on obstruction; less drag
when towed in water

Cons: insecure if not under load
