Splicing is an essential skill for any seafarer, although the traditional 3-strand rope is fast disappearing; this guide will show you how to splice braided rope.
See why splices are better and stronger than knots or shackles for joining or shortening rope, and follow the step-by-step photographs and clear instructions to find out how to splice efficiently.
Learn how to:
make strong, reliable splices in braided rope
select ropes in the materials that best suit your on-board requirements
customise your ropes to make your setup easier and safer
optimise your deck layout and save weight on board
taper your sheets for ease of handling
splice an extra cover on your ropes to give better grip in clutches, avoid chafe and make them last longer
