just competed the two I needed and wanted to tell you about a trick so you dont have to buy fids go get some Knitting Needles that is what I did and cut them to length and diameters can buy them in many different sizes maybe like not more than 2$ each@@VeleroMissRegina
Hi Bradows Funky, They have multiple uses, for example to replace blocks, or for the furling system line of the genoa, or jib. m.th-cam.com/video/wi7uLUjPxBc/w-d-xo.html Fair winds! Javi ⛵⛵
Que bonito queda, pero que tostón de video! 😂😂 casi me quedo dormido con esa música ! Ah y lo de los textos en el idioma de la pérfida Albión ? Es que ahora tu también lo hablarás en tus videos? Lo que más ilusión me haceesqueeste sea el primer comentario. Un fuerte abrazo
1. Of course it is better and easier to make the loop with a splicing set, but the idea of the video is to do it without specific instruments. 2. On the other hand, this Dyneema loop holds a very high load. Fair winds Javi ⛵⛵
Hi, They have many uses. Most commonly it is to replace conventional blocks. And they really gives very good results. For example in the genoa furling line. 👍 th-cam.com/video/wi7uLUjPxBc/w-d-xo.html Fair winds!, Javi ⛵⛵

Nice I was looking for someone who knew how to do this now I can make the two I needed, just happen to be browsing and came across this channel.
Thank you for your feedback Westmc 😁
Actually I'm using them in the genoa and jib sails furling lines and they work perfectly. 👍

Thank you for the trick Westmc. 🙂
Sometimes I also use knitting needles, of course cheaper than splicing needle set 👍

Cool! I wonder if the vulcanizing tape and heat shrink tube over the whipping is an overkill?

Well, you know, the sea conditions are hard conditions. it's never enough.

This is a 4mm rope.

1. why are you not using fid instead of needle and tape? - so much simpler. 2. That dyneema loop is not secure enough to withstand a lot of load.
