A back splice gives a permanent finish to the end of a three strand rope to prevent it from undoing. Please be aware that a back splice will increase the diameter of a rope by about 33%.
The application of a strong, rubberised band on the end of the rope, prevents fraying and keeps the rope clean and tidy.
A strong spliced rope eye without a thimble. A soft eye splice creates a permanent eye loop at the end of a rope and can applied to most ropes - three strand, braid on braid & even Dyneema. Allows for a shackle or fitting to be securely fitted. Most typical use is on yachts as a halyard.
A hard eye splice is created the same way as the soft eye splice with the addition of a thimble being spliced in. This creates a stronger attachment point & reduces the chance of wear. The thimble can either be galvanised steel, stainless steel or a lightweight nylon. To ensure the thimble does not slip out of the eye splice we ensure it is whipped onto the rope.
A strong, fine twine applied tightly to the end of a rope to prevent fraying and provide the rope with an elegant finish. Standard way to finish all marine ropes.

A lightweight white thimble bound tightly into a rope splice and useful for light to medium ropes where the load & wear is low to medium.

A rope spliced onto a snap shackle that allows for easy removal or attachment. Usually used on yachts for attaching to a spinnaker or jib.
A rope spliced onto a snap shackle that swivels that allows for easy removal or attachment. Usually used on yachts for attaching to a spinnaker or jib.
A rope spliced onto a a high quality Wichard snap shackle that allows for easy removal or attachment. Usually used on larger or race yachts for attaching to a spinnaker or jib where the loads are heavier.

A high quality marine grade stainless steel thimble bound tightly into a rope splice. Good for ropes where the load & wear is medium to high and shackles are attached.
A strong extra wide eye splice, a minimum of 9’’ in diameter and generally made onto the end of a mooring rope to put through a cleat and make mooring on a pontoon easy.
The application of a strong, rubberised band on the end of the rope, prevents fraying and keeps the rope clean and tidy.
The Crown knot is the first part of a Back Splice. When the end of a three-stranded rope starts to fray, a crown should be tied immediately with a back splice to follow. This protects the rope until the back splice can be replaced with a whipping.

A pulling eye with whipping is made to the end of a halyard to create a strong, easy method for attaching a mousing line to when reeving a mast and deckgear.
