Inserts
Hi again,
The wonderful people at New England Ropes tested inserting 5/16" Endura 12 into 5/8" Regatta Braid, and got a break in the latter, at full strength. This was with a 6ft bury, as I recall, making it about 115 diameters. No reported rope distortion. I'm much more inclined to insert small into large, as a result, especially where the differences in size are great.
Fair leads,
Brion
