Splicing Modern Ropes (175 pages) 2016, is the definitive guide to rope-splicing. For any seafarer, splicing Rope is an essential skill. But the traditional 3-strand Rope is fast disappearing. So how do you splice braided rope?

 

Most of the techniques are quite easy to master – and also fun to do. 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

 

While a >Knot can reduce the strength of a Rope by as much as 50%, a well-spliced Rope loses only 5–10%. The techniques, insights and suggestions within these pages will be invaluable to all boaters, whether recreational or commercial.
