11.1.2 Endless Rope - Strong Splice

Показать описание

This video explains how to splice an endless rope of double braid polyester. In this technique, we use the core to keep the strength of the rope to its max. Use our 11.1.1 movie when equal thickness is more important than strength.

Just understand that the splice is a larger diameter than the line, so if you have a furler that takes 1/4" line and no larger, don't use this splice to make it continuous using 1/4" line as it won't go through the furler drum. If you don't mind a bump and showing the core, you can do a continuous splice that is locked and you won't need stitching.

Be sure to check that your splice will feed through the clutch once completed, it jammed on mine

Hi, thank you for the great informational video. As a newbie, I was wondering if you could efficiently make an endless rope on a much smaller diameter, something close to 35cm ?

beautifully done.

how much strength is retained/ lost by splicing in this way?

Excellent vids, would it not be better to use a darker background so that the rope is easier to see. Still good stuff though.

How much length does the splice cost? -i.e.: How much extra line, (expressed in diameters) do you need?

Hola, se podría usar este empalme de forma segura para unir dos cabos de fondeo de 200m cada uno de poliéster de 10mm? Gracias.

Hello, could this splice be used safely to join two mooring ropes of 200m each of 10mm polyester? Thanks

Thanks for a great video! I've watched several times but was hoping someone could help: At 5:22, from what line does he insert the d splicer? Does he go all the way to the black line? Or is he halfway between black and red, or some other location? It confuses me since he does one fid length for the left, and then what appears to be somewhere between 1 and 2 fid lengths on the right. My first splicing job was scrunched up, I think maybe because I assumed he went from the black line? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Hi, thanks for this. What, if anything would you do differently if the core was dyneema/UHMWPE?

Is a minimum length fid needed for this? I want to make a small continuous loop, approx 10 cm long for a prussik. Got Excel Racing 3mm but I guess uncovered dyneema would also be good?

How much thickness does this add at the splice area?

I have some dock lines a tad too short. Can this be applied to splicing two double braid ends together to use for dock lines? The lines will have like snubbers.
