Yes
Hi again,
Lovely, though "pretty hard" is not an engineering standard. If you'd like to make several samples, I could arrange to have them destruction-tested. Use New England rope, please, as they'll do the tests. A typical 35lb handle load on a #46 winch will get you about 1,600lbs, which might be only 50 to 60% the strength of the Spectra portion, or less, depending on the grade. What were the end terminations?
Let's follow through on this. Be in touch with me when you are ready to send samples. Meanwhile, we'd all love to hear about the details of the splice.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
