Cutting and Whipping 3 Strand Rope

We continue working on our Anchor rode extension and after cutting the line, we show how we keep the line from fraying. In this case by doing a simple whipping that requires no needles or sailors palm. This is an easy and good looking way to finish the end of a line and show your seamanship skills.

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.

You should've swiped a butter knife when you went out to dinner. Lol
