That's exactly what I would have said but Bob beat me to it. Have done it numerous times for assyms and it works perfectly. Just make certain that the various pieces all have same approx strengths.

Cheers,

You will have a clean smooth sheet attachment that easily gybe.

This config will be as strong as the weakest rope if correctly spliced. Consult Brion's field guide for proper splicing in high mod.
