Expert rope work is the hallmark of a competent sailor. Knots will get you through, but there’s nothing like being able to splice your own lines to make you feel like a true sailor.
Burying the tail of parallel-core, double-braid line can be quite a challenge. But putting a good splice in single braid is actually quite easy! In this video Emily demonstrates how to do just put a mobius brummel splice around a shackle.
This splice doesn’t take much longer then tying a knot, and for slippery lines like polypropylene, it’s sometimes the only way to make an eye that doesn’t pull out.
