Zeppelin bend - dissimilar sized ropes?
I have to say that this is a new knot to me but I have been experimenting and it seems to ideal for joining two similar sized ropes - quick, simple, secure and non-jamming.
With other, older, knots e.g. sheet bend, carrick bend, there are variants where a second turn is made in the smaller rope. Does this work with the Zeppelin bend? I can't think that it wouldn't but would hate to discover it didn't when using it on a long shore mooring.
