Tachyon 11.5

Very annoyed with myself today, put freshly sharpened gaffs into above mentioned rope, about 1.5m from splice

 

Is it worth getting someone to splice it or is now tow rope ?

 

It's only about 5 weeks old, with splice at one end

 

Grrrr !!

You could probably get someone to splice the other end as its not that old. A mate of mine did the same thing and he just ties a bowline instead, seems to work ok with a HC.

Just get it spliced mate there will be a splicer near you. Where are you based?

If its 5 weeks old, splice the other end and you should be golden.

I live in Durham , does anybody know any one ?

 

Good idea about other end , would probably get both done

 

Yes bowline would work but must admit like the neatness from the spliced termination

Dont do both ends!!!!

Dont do both ends!!!!

 

Indeed. I was assuming that the OP would cut the original one off, and I agree, you don't really want 2 eyes.

[Mitch]

Sorry but why not both ends??

 

Does anybody know who can stitch eye or splice it

Check out the splicing forum mate.

 

My main reasons for not having both ends spliced would be that I only use one end anyway, and you wouldn't be able to 'milk' your rope if it needs it.

 

I'm pretty sure some hardware needs a blank end to feed into it as well.
