I failed twice with new line because, as cautioned in the video, the soft new line kept unraveling into a mass of fibers. The third time I sprayed the line with hair spray. It held together and was stiff enough to splice just as the video depicted. Thanks Dalton.

I liked that taper approach for the windlass/gypsy action as it makes good sense to have that running through the gear. I did the normal 3 strands through the chain, but It does run awry every now and again, so will now cut and try this method. Sure, it's a bit more effort, but it will be worth it. My only initial concern when watching was that the chain/rope connection uses only 2 main strands instead of 3, but if you haven't had any issues...then it must be ok. Thanks

Interesting rode to Chain splice. Can't say in a fan of tucking 2 of the 3 braids in the first link . A standard eye splice would but all 3 in the first link. A regular eye spice is usually 5 tucks, I do 10 on Cain to rode.

Burn those ragged cutoffs with Bernz-0-Matics small torch with adjustable, accurate flame as close to the main rope as possible without burning it. Once the trimmed end melts, I mushroom it back toward the strand it passed under and it creates a flat anchored end due to its melted fiber bonding to the strand it came under. Allow each tool before trimming and melting the others.

When you're done, you only have two strands looped through the chain link. That's only 2/3 as strong as the original line.

Exactly. Its completely the wrong way to splice a chain to rope. "I've always does it this way and have no complaints" doesn't mean its the right way. If I saw a splice with a 3 cord rope and only 2 strands are passing through the chain I'd take it right back to whoever did it.

Thank you for this excellent video. So I have spliced my anchor line to the chain already but wrong so I'll do it again using your method. I feel tempted to put a little piece of thin heat shrink in the place where the 2 strands of the line meet the chain. In you video you put a little piece of tape around the 2 strands to keep them from unraveling. My thought was to leave the heat shrink there and have a chafe guard for the 2 strands of anchor line in that place. Good or bad idea ?

There seems to be two methods for this rode-to-chain splice. One easy one and this one. This one has a more gradual taper. Do you prefer it for that reason or, as JFK would say, because it is hard? The easy splice I refer to has all three strands through the chain link and tucked back. kzitem.info/news/bejne/yWqe0H-LsoKGpJg

Adam- The video you linked to is indeed a simple chain splice, which is preferable for applications not using a powered windlass. My instructions are for achieving a splice that has a reduced diameter at the splice which is required by most anchor windlass manufacturers to safely fit through the gypsy of the winch without jamming. A windlass gypsy is typically cast to accept a very specific size chain and the rope diameter is usually also very specific and as large as possible for the chain to match breaking load strength, which is why the end diameter of the splice needs to be reduced. A typical three strand backsplice will increase the diameter of the splice by almost 75%. The goal with this splice is to have the splice diameter fairly close in size to the unfinished portion of the line.

Only 2/3 of the rope is connected to the chain, this splice will reduce the strength of the rope by 1/3?
@davidjulian8536

That was my first reaction, but when you look at it, the rope itself has three strands, but where it joins the chain there are actually four strands, two each side. There is a small loss of strength as the rope turns around the chain link, but the end result is that it is as strong as the original rope.

Following up on an earlier comment, attaching two of the three strands to the anchor would reduce the strength to 66 percent instead of 80 percent as stated in the video. Right?

@@AkinciX 66% is plenty of strength for 99% of the time. If you're attracted to dangerous sea conditions then have a second more durable rode setup and use it when you are having fun with the 6'+ sea conditions. Do you know what the breaking point of ½" nylon twist is? Or maybe the amount of stress on your deployed rode? 50-100lbs is common. It's easy to see that 33% you mentioned and he did also at the beginning indicating that 66% was plenty...so far. I'll have a utility rode and a good and safe emergency back up that I would rather not ever use
