MODERNES TAUWERK SPLEISSEN / Egmont M. Friedl
MODERNES TAUWERK SPLEISSEN / Egmont M. Friedl
A splice has a much higher breaking load than a knot. Modern, braided ropes must therefore always be spliced to avoid unnecessarily reducing their high breaking load at the joints and attachment points. Sheets, halyards and trim lines are always spliced on both luxury yachts and performance-optimised regatta boats.Egmont M. Friedl presents practical solutions for splicing modern ropes with high breaking loads:Rigging: constructions, materials, strengths, technical termsSplicing tools and basic skills: Extracting the core, working with the splicing needle, tapering, milking backSplicing of single braided ropes without a core made from Dyneema and other high modulus fibres: Auger splices, connecting splices, self-blocking Brummel splices, loops, cordage shackles, soft shackles, modern lashingsSplicing of double-braided ropes and core-sheath ropes: eye splices, endless splicesHigh modulus fibre splices with Dyneema, Spectra, Vectran: including tapering, sheathingData on materials, dimensioning of sheets and halyards for sailing boats and yachts, tables of all splice lengths complete this practice-orientated workbook, which is accompanied by a DVD with instruction videos showing how to carry out the splicing work and how to use the splicing tools correctly.192 pages, 368 photos and illustrations, size 22 x 28 cm, paperback.
