Things you should know about 3 strand nylon rope -
Nylon is slightly stronger, and much more elastic or given to stretch than polyester. This can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on your application. If you need a high-stretch rope go with nylon.
Polyester has better abrasion resistance and UV resistance than nylon, but much less elasticity. If you need a low stretch, durable rope, go with 3 Strand Polyester instead of this nylon. - rightrope.com/product/3-stran...

That was really cool 😮😮😮
If you use a longer splice after 5 tucks you can cut the number of yarns in each strand to reduce the diameter of the splice in order to produce a tapered lead into the the windlass
Good video. What do you recommend to mitigate against chafing/abrasion where the strands wrap around the chain link? Do you recommend this approach over splicing in a thimble and using a shackle? I always whip where the strands exit for added security.
One more detail to remember with all three strand splices: *Massage the splice.*
One way to "massage the splice" is to lay the splice on the dock, put your foot on top and roll the splice back and forth with some vigor for a few seconds. This will work the tension in the strands and fibers into an even state throughout the splice. It's a small detail that makes a big difference. The tucked ends will often slip back into the splice leaving the ends approximately ⅛" to ¼" shorter, but that's to be expected. Now your splice is in an ideal state of evenness throughout.
Now is the time to cut the bitter ends of the splice. I do this several ways, depending on the specific application, so I won't describe that now.
If you're concerned about getting dirt on your beautiful white line, lay a towel on the splice to keep it clean.
Valeu a pena!
Wish i could be here to watch this, might i ask if there is a secret to the thimble eye splice??
This is a new lesson fer a way to splice a rope to a chain
Untapered splices won't work in most windlasses. _So, this would have been a great time to demonstrate a three strand taper._ 😊
And counting 13 strands (for the tucks) will often leave you just a little too short for a secure splice, and a strand could work its way back out of it's tuck. When you're dealing with boats, expect everything to go wrong. *_So, I always consider every detail._*
But this is a very good demonstration for beginners because it is not intimidating. 😊
Yess, I do my tapers in the by3 step
The full three stands, tucked 3 times
Cut one off
Tuck the 2 stands 3 more times
Cut one then tuck the Last one 3 more times an nip of any extra.
Works great on the fishing boat fer the lobster trap ropes
Are those fids like that one for sale?
Yes they are!

The link to the Right Rope page gave a 404 error.
They are called Swedish Fids and you can get them from most marine supply stores.
Here is a new link that works. rightrope.com/swedish-fid/
Why 13 and not more for added security???
You only need 4 tucks for a secure splice
In the Barge towing industry we use 3 tucks and in my 18 years as a boat captain I've never seen a splice fail before the line breaks, just a tid bit of info!
@MikeJ3. ahah, yess, a confident rope worker can make 3 tucks work for a life time, but a new to the ropes person should have four, but yea never need any more
But eye like to taper mine down over sets of three, so it goes threw the lobster trap hauler more smoothly
Could we have Liv back? Please😂
