This episode will show you how to make an eye splice in single braid Class II Ropes. We start off with the Longbury and I show you exactly why you should avoid doing this particular splice.
Next, we cover in depth how to carry out a möbius brummel splice and how to properly taper the tail.
With this splice, you can safely and securely splice up your own synthetic standing rigging!

08:15 While pushing the fid thru, you want equal number of strands on both sides of the fid, to ensure the lock is equally strong on all sides. 12-braid so count 6 strands on each side of the pushed through fid.

@jamessarrett4169 4 жыл бұрын

A handy trick: When you taper the bury at the end, if you start pulling yarns out from the bitter end instead of the standing part first, the rope won't fall apart as quickly or easily. It also help make it clearer which yarn is the next one to pull out. Thanks for making al your videos and keep it up!

Fantastic! I do parachute repair for a living and we use eye splices at the ends of the lines(1/4" braided nylon, not Dyneema...or 550 paracord for these parachutes). I noticed years ago that there was a weak spot at the end of the tail, lots of snapped lines there. I started cutting back half the cords about 1-1/2 to 2 inches to create the same tapered effect and some of my coworkers don't really understand the concept when I explain it. They are about to watch this video LOL. Thanks for the validation!!!

I just experimented with these splices on double braid dyneema (with cover), including the Mobius Brummell Lock, it’s more complicated but comes out ok. The trick is to get everything very tight, and then to be gentle getting the splice into the cover at the end. I then finished with self- amalgamating tape to tidy up and protect at bit. I also use covered line for the lashing, so everything important is out of the UV. I’m in the subtropics so the sun is brutal in summer.

Beautiful video, very simple and straight forward, I’ll be trying this splice in the future. As a Captain since 1992 I’ve never heard of anyone cutting someone’s rigging as revenge. Personally I’d just pull the cap shroud cotter pin between the turnbuckle and chain plate. Maybe consider revising that story so no knuckle heads get any ideas.

Thanks for that great tip! I had got my hands on a large amount of 5/16" Kevlar line that I use for camping, hammocks, etc. Since I can't burn the ends to keep them from fraying I found using 3-1 glued heat-shrink tubing a good way to seal the ends. I leave the tubing an 1/8" or so longer than the rope end and it shrinks down to a nice blunt point. This has worked well for me, but I am no pro, I wonder if you have a better method of doing this?

Thanks matey. I have a Farrier F22 with Dyneema lines for the rigging and halyards, I'm the type of guy who likes to do things myself and I wanted to know how my lines were spliced so well by my rigger. This video spells it out perfectly and thanks for sharing your knowledge. One thing I would like to know is the best way to create a jib raising system using a KZ furler system?

Great trick! Much easier than pulling though my 1000' tail! I'm doing this splice on a 1/4", 8 strand polypropylene rope. How long must the bury be to maintain full strength? Still 72 diameter? Thanks! (SGT knots poly rope.)

@RiggingDoctor 5 жыл бұрын

Poly rope eye splice is a class 1 splice, so you can get away with much less buried. The minimum to bury is 42x the diameter. To be safe though, I would do a bit more than 42x but you don’t have to run to the extreme of 72x.

Fantastic video, well done. Boat builders and riggers I've met still seem to have a negative regard for Dyneema - rod rigging preferable and so on. Not sure how good Dyneema is with UV - the big issue, but it certainly won't crack or oxidize, and a fraction of the weight... Looked at carbon standing rigging the other day but it was worse than a baby in terms of how you had to look after it. What's the best?

@RiggingDoctor 5 жыл бұрын

As of now, there is no best. Metal cracks and corrodes. Dyneema is fine with UV but stretches. Carbon is too delicate. PBO can’t have any light. Pick your poison! An alternative is to go junk rig and have no standing rigging.
