Splice for patriot rope

[openboater]

Could someone recommend the most suitable splice for putting an eye into Patriot. Thanks.

Do you have a picture?

 

Edit: 16 strand splice if its the Patriot climbing line.

 

I can splice it for you, I am based SW.

 

PM if you want.

I think it's a Yale rope.

I'm happy to do it, just need the advice on which technique to use. Recently made a tidy job of Marlow Gecko and apparently this should be easier. The blue core is 8 straight double strands with a thin plastic tracer tape thingy.

Yes I think your right that its Yale.

 

It is a 16strand rope so do a 16 strand splice.

 

Cover strand removal is slightly different from the Marlow I think.

Here we go. Successful job of the Patriot ( will whip it later ). Loads easier than the Gecko next to it. Thanks for the pointer.

I just had a Hand Spliced 16 strand broke at 2.98t.

 

So be careful climbing on that;)

Was that scientifically tested to destruction or a failed attempt to lift a heavy thing out on site ?

Are you getting samples tested to be able to gain certification for the splices you produce ?

I had a few splices broken double braid and 16 strand after a very kind offer from somebody in the industry.

 

I broke them for peace of mind really but CE certification for hand splicing is obtainable.

 

I have never broken a splice in day to day tree work, although I'm sure I could if I tried:)
