Very good video and that's exactly the size I need for my 43 ft trawler. My rode is 21 years old and only have 100 ft of chain and 100 ft of line. Thinking of putting on a new 300 ft line. Does your splice easily go thru the windlass?

I have a 41' sloop. My materials alone cost over $500. If I will were to say I could do it, I will not have any availability until October and between materials and my labor, you will pay more than $400 I am sure. Given the size of your boat, $400 might be a bargain. By the way, I do NOT live in Rock Hall. My boat is berthed there. If you are still interested in discussing this, let me know.

The shot is overexposed and rather wide, makes it hard to follow. The best splicing videos are shot “over the shoulder”, i.e. looking down, so we see the same as you do. You clearly know what you’re doing, but it’s not very clear to follow.

Ummm... why are you doing it worng? Why are you putting all the pressure on one place of tge line instead of splicing it into the chain so the weight bearing is spread along a longer stretch of the line?

@@MyBoatLife But one has a single point of failure at the weakest point in the lashing that also happens to have lots of natural friction. The other distributes the load across the entire lashing and does not have a single point of failure at its weakest point.

What he is doing is not “wrong,” it is an alternative to a longitudinal splice which has its own failure mechanisms.

Looks to me like he's putting the pressure in three points. Each strand.
