On launch day this spring an unfortunate bow line handler ended up in the cold water when a knot separated!
The best knot for tying two lines together, especially if they are of different thickness, is the sheet bend.
In the picture above the blue line is the thicker of the two.
If there is a big difference in thickness the double sheet bend should be used.
