Thanks again Herb, wow pretty easy just a little time.

I use this splice on my rode. I've had folks act horrified that "there's only two strands through the chain!" Well, no. There are actually four strands taking the strain from the chain link. One of the major rope manufacturers (can't recall who) tested this splice and determined that it was actually stronger than the three-strand rope is was made from. It passes through my windlass very smoothly.

Very helpful, thank you!!

Thanks a lot for the tips. Greenpete's World brought me here. Also subscribed 👍

Thanks for the test shot at the end. I was skeptical it would work😂

Excellent video! I'll have to watch 4 or 5 more times to get it. But atleast I understand the principle.

Awesome, Herby! Well done. Thank you! 👍👍👍

I like this, I will have to try soon. Grinding a 3/8" BB down all chain as mooring. Looks smooth enough. Apparently I should have painted with antifouling that I was considering. The winter crop is set now. Last time up my CQR brought up another larger CQR.

Well only started splicing 50 years ago, and never saw that splice, no way was that 50 years of splicing, but have been around plenty.

❤❤❤

In your write-up, you mention that "It is very important though that the link be tied tightly in the rope that way it doesn't wiggle around while in service." But here in the video you say we should leave a little wiggle room with the 3/16" fid. Which one you support now? and what made you change your mind?

Very nice video. Going to add it to a playlist. I'm starting about 25 new playlists, all starting with the word Sailing. This new playlist will be called Sailing Knots and Lines I've got a ton of Dyneema videos, ect. I think. I'll also have it downloaded on a thumb drive in a folder by the same name. Why ? Well, I'd like to get on a boat, and sail to "exotic places" which usually have no internet , right ? Interesting you have a 12v windlass. I wasn't remembering that detail but know you definitely stay away from electrical stuff. How are the new batteries holding up ?

Used this to prep my secondary anchor for the upcoming season, so thanks! Any chance you, as a rigger, could explain, flush out more or demonstrate how to DIY a dyneema adjustable double ended, whoopie sling-ish, main sheet system like what Nike from white spot pirates used on her Karl recently? I have a NorSea27 that has a single ended main but it’s set up like a double end: only one standing end out of the port main sheet block but the sheet is attached to both rear quarters. It makes it difficult to sail to windward not being able to pull the boom to windward. Same problem but to a lesser degree with our smaller Ideal 18 daysailer. Looks like a potentially very useful solution on both my boats. Probably others too Thanks again, great vids!

I knew I'd seen this before, tricksters! LOL

interesting installation on the chain rope splice. I like it. Is that the same as the ABOK 2858?

👍!!!

Greetings brother! Did you happen to visit Solomon’s Lodge in Savannah while you were there?

I am wondering why you didn't use a SS thimble through the chain to minimize chafing. Would that cause problems at the windlass?

I wish to learn more. IIs there a name for this particular splice? Or is it a Rigging Doctor special?

It's been awhile since I've spliced to chain but the last time I vaguely recall I passed two strands through chain link and third strand through chain link the opposite way like you did but then I back spliced all three strands together same time as if splicing a normal eye/back splice and tapered tucks as normal. I can't remember doing like you did in this video by splicing just two strands first, but maybe I did. Is It possible to splice it like I described? (With one strand having the half hitch lock at chain link). I'll have to have a practice again as I recall doing it and if I get stuck from wrong method refer to your video to correct myself.

Nice spice, new windlass, or lucky customer?

Can you clarify what you did with #1 after undoing it to replace with #2?

And if you were not using a windlass do you feel this better than the way it was?

So are you a traveling man ?

2:39 All that cross-fading makes this really confusing (for me anyway!).

Im not sure if the link to your next video is badly placed or... Who or what are poondrifters?

#BanMensFlipFlops 😂😂😂

damn Herby, you choose a worst background is posible...

Avoid all this with an all chain rode......

Rarely, if ever, have I seen such a confusing and unintelligible demo. Utterly unfathomable.
