A "sheet", in nautical terms, is in fact the rope (line for the more
technical sailors) attached to a sailcloth.  Any sailor worth their salt
will inform you in a like manner. The "sheetbend" is a knot designed to
fix a length of line to a sheet.  For the technocrats, it is a knot
designed to be tied in rope/line of equal or differing thicknesses.
