Thank you for demonstrating the proper method and correctly explaining why.
Not a problem, thanks for stopping by. Glad you found our content usedul
Nice! So you go through the loops twice?
100%
I remover doing my first eye splice and it came out very nice except that I forgot to put on the shackle with a closed eye.
Easy to do when you have so much to think about. I am sure that you did another one in 1/2 the time with the shackle in the closed eye !!!
Did the right of way boat need to deviate course to avoid?
No. The right of way boats was telling the boat on port to hold course as they were clear ahead of
@@BottomUPBoats thanks. Amazing footage
Not the first video I have watched on this splice, but one of the best. It had a few new tips that made my splices easier. Thank you.
Thanks for stopping by and the feedback, great to hear that some who could already do this found some value in our version !!!!
Overkill?
I have finished control lines, sheets and Halyards like this for years. The rope always wears out some place else if I do this. If I don’t it always ends up shorter due to fraying. So from my perspective it is 100% worth it 👍
@@BottomUPBoats Sure, but that's braided and already sealed. I simply whip those and spend the time and effort on the 3 strand, of which 'Rigging Doctor' does a nice job. I'm surfing around for 3 strand whipping ideas but was curious what you were up to. Cheers
@@Cacheola I have some 3 strand whipping videos planed for the upcoming northern hemisphere hopefully it is some content you find useful.
Well explained, way too much work
Thanks for stopping by and for the feedback. This one is hard to explain until you have done your first one. It looks cool and there is something strangely satisfying about learning a skill from days gone by in a world of automation and short cuts drive by A.I
Good video, but if there is something heavy inside the rope hole thingy will it break?
All comes down the the breaking strain of the rope. I the the rope breaking strain is larger than the weight of the object you should be fine
Nice like to watch this videos 😃👍
Thanks for coming on board, glad you liked it 👍
Easy Peasy! (NOT!). I had done a few of these about 10 years ago when I bought my boat but did not remember the process. I sure didn’t recall all the steps involved.
That is one of the reason why we made this video so you can always come back to watch along to complete your next splice. Do it enough and you will master it !!!!
@@BottomUPBoats Your video is excellent and a great resource!
@@JT_70 thanks for the feedback. Hopefully other will read and give the resource a run :)
Love that second fastening option. Quicker release than a lark's head when you are using a soft shackle for a lighter-duty application.
100% lots of great options for any use case !!!
Would you trust these soft shackles on a hammock suspension? They would have to hold a person's weight. 200 - 300 lbs.
100%
larks head seems like the easy, secure winner for me!
💯 one if not the best option for finishing
@@BottomUPBoats I was gunna make another fancy, spliced soft shackle for my hammock out of amsteel, but this is just too easy!
@@uradumby25 yep for that use case these options are on point !!
I was in Cork week 2024
Nice one, what boat where you on, if I have any footage I will publish a short and give you a shout out.
That one guy didn't even get his cigarette wet.
A man of many talents
Looks good but to much Hassal
You should give it a go, it is even better than it looks when you complete it :)
You lost me at rope
Sorry to hear that, I am guessing the sailors who use rope not line stayed around longer.
@@BottomUPBoats There's only a few ropes on a modern cruiser... tiller rope, tow rope, bell rope. I take it you're the least experienced member of your crew :))
Holy cow.
I guess if you made the eye big enough you could make a leash for a cow :)
Bumpy indeed - take care😊
Even bigger waves down in Cork the week 👍
If you are going to pretend to be a rope expert, you could at least call that rope by the proper term. I specialized in high angle rescue as well as did some mountain climbing, rapelling, and even sold rope. That rope is properly called kernmantle, not double braid. And, since you are using marine rope it is most likely polypropylene cored which would mean it is static kernmantle as opposed to dynamic kernmantle.
Climbers are a different level, goes without saying that you would want to be if you where putting your life in the hands of one of these. Sailors have always referred to this as double braid. I am guessing the will be various materials used to make the rope.
3:12 Lol youtube's compression algorhythm is having a seizure with that rope core! 🤣
AI is not all it is cracked up to be.
My Dad taught me this knot back in boyscouts, but I forgot how, this was the perfect video, I needed it for this exact application
Nice one, glad we could help unlock the past from you boyscout days with your dad !
the eye splice in the thumbnail looks crap.
but functional
Step 12 is really hard to do and I was trying to pull it through too much of the outer sheave. Also, instead of using whipping twine at the end, it works well to use electrical heat-shrink sheave.
Yep it can be tough depending on the rope you use, with that said the tighter it is the less chance it will come loose with or without the whipping or heat shrink you referenced.
6yrs later, first time viewing, knot tied straight away. Thanks for the straightforward vid 🧶
Anytime. Glad you liked it 👍
Is this knot secure? I mean is it strong enough to hold high pressure?
It gets tighter under load, so the more pressure you apply the tighter it gets.
Good video. We had these splices on our Para Sailor sheets, they all began to bulge the core out of the covers at the eye. I ended up stuffing them back in and sewing the eyes through the covers and cores to keep this from happening again. Not a good solution but the only one we could think of in the middle of the ocean. Has anyone solved this problem?
If you repeat the final steps for a second time it should slide back in, it sounds like you have quite a bit of slack between the cover and core. If this was the case wipping like you said is more than likely the best option. The other option if you have a big gap between the cover and to core is iis to go a lot further past top of the eye when you put the core into the cover at the 6:30 minute mark, if you double the lenght you go back up the eye you will increase the amount of the splice with multiple widths which will increase the locking load created by the rope.
Yeah this is a very well explained video. Love it
Glad you found it easy to follow and thanks for taking time to leave some feedback 👍
this makes no sense to me. The core is removed early in the tutorial, but later its milked back?
Yes, you need to pull the dyneema out to get enough length to create the eye splice. You then pull the cover over the core to finish the splice off and have dual thickness all the way up to the eye of the splice
@@BottomUPBoats yup - my point was just that the video doesnt actually say anything about pulling the core out first to give room to slide it back.
@@trondhindenes4412 Check out step number 3 at the 1:25 second mark with the link below. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aWyn1Jelhteyj6w.htmlsi=i2VFr1P2uLBupUa2&t=85 This is the 30cm that allows for the inner core to slide back in later in the video and give you the extra length in the outer core used in the final step.
Is Comanche faster than the Volvo?
Comanche IRC rating is 2.043, I looked up Ocean Breeze which is the refurbed V70 Ericson and it rate 1.683 which makes her quite a bit slower.
Hi there, i am thinking of replacing part of the standing rigging on my 22 foot sailing boat from stainless steel to dyneema. I was thinking of the 2 lowers and backstay. My question is, would those eye splices be strong enough for the job, please. Best regards Oz from England.
If you get the right diameter of dyneema it will be more than strong enough. In many case the rope can have a higher breaking load than traditional wire. I have a j109 which is 36 foot long and I use dyneema for my back stay. The J1019 has a mast head kite so the loads can be high. The only point to consider is that dyneema will stretch as the rope beds in. This is why many still choose metal rigging for the lowers. You could always tighten the splice if it did stretch
Excellent tutorial.
Thanks for stopping by. Glad you found it useful 👍
DO THIS: Fast forwards so you cant see.....
Now we’re is the fun in that, all you will end up seeing is the frayed ends in your sheets and halyards.
Just found your channel. Great footage of the 109! I'll be following. Of course you have to overtire the chute in time...which is a lot easier said than done when it's blowing like that! Greetings from the USA: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZmuH1LWgmNSuhso.htmlsi=3WOEhG5xvJ_ufLb4
Over trimming the main to offset the spin heeling the boat in that direction has saved us from death roll gybes many times on boats up to this size..seems about 40 ft loa. Also over trimming the chute helps too..which is just the opposite of what most people do…it is the symmetric chute that is overpowered and heels the boat to a point that the rudder loses control and the gybe occurs out of control. Over trimming it usually depowers it as well. It has to be done in time though
All good points, for symmetric kite over trimming is one of the best ways to avoid a death roll.
Never pour water into acid. But pour acid into water.
This is why comments are great. A couple of viewers picked this up, great advice and an enhancement to the published content 👍
BEST guidance tutorial that I've seen. Batter than mtg. Instructions!....(i've spliced parachute lines with small fids for 40+ years, but BIG Fids are a handful) THANK YOU for walking through the process.
Thanks for stopping by and for the fabulous feedback. Looks like this video will take your big FID work to the next level !!!!!
I did this once, don't ask me how I did it, but I did. You have to give up reasoning what's going on and just doggedly follow the video. Professional eye splicers will not do this with a rope that has been under stress it's just too tightly bound.
100% on the old rope, it make it really hard, even for those who have done it multiple time. Congratulations for doggedly following the video and glad that it helped you get their. Trust me when I say it gets easier the more you do it and understand how it all works !
Excellent
Glad you found our content valuable 👍
Etwas chaotisch, für mich leider nicht nachvollziehbar, schade.
Es tut mir leid, dass Sie den Schritten nicht folgen konnten, wie so viele andere, die diese Fähigkeit beherrschen müssen
Good job wow, now i need a pump😊
Our old milking pump got there slowly. With a new one and a warmer environment you can make a big impact !
O.k.,now show me how the machine made do it.
Hmmm, interesting question which I don’t know the answer to. Looks like it is time for a research project.
why
Because it is cleaner and stronger than making a loop with a knot. Plus it looks cool 😎
Great instructional video but much too difficult for me.
Thanks for the feedback. If you ever get the urge to give it a go you know where to come to master it 👍
What is this sorcery?!
Sorcery in its purest form.
Will this work with Bungie rope?
I guess it would work as long as it is constructed in the same way. That is double braid. Further to that you need to be able to feed the braids in between on another while ch may be tricky if the inner core is 100% rubber
@@BottomUPBoats I really appreciate your help. Great video. I will see what I can find that's specific to Bungie rope.
I always wondered how they did that. 🙃👍
Glad we could help you understand how it is done !!!
I never realised this was such an asshole of a job. Thanks Linda for sorting out all my splicing needs
Sounds like Linda is a keeper as part of your crew if she has mastered this skill and keeps you right.
Wäre hier ein takling nötig um ungewolltes öffnen zu verhindern, weil man das in diveresen anderen videos sieht, oder gibt es keine probleme?
Es ist nicht nötig, diese Verbindung zu heften, die Verbindung verriegelt sich selbst und wird unter Belastung fester. Wenn Sie befürchten, dass sie verrutscht, machen Sie das letzte Ende, das Sie vergraben, so lang, wie der andere Kern unter Belastung darauf Druck ausübt. Je länger es ist, desto sicherer ist die Verbindung.
I have the Ashley book of knots, and I agree with him when he says, getting more elaborate than necessary or adding more than needed to any knot 🪢 usually ends up detracting from what you're trying to accomplish.
Hard to challenge or disagree with the author of the knot bible. On the flip side if does allow us to dream up more content 😌
