Default Might not happen

Hello,
I worked for some time on a practical long splice for 12-strand. It can be done, but not practically, or at least I haven't figured out a way yet. The closest I came was a HM core, in rope sufficiently small as not to increase the Regatta Diameter significantly, overlapping a butted joint. But even this required bulk-inducing whipping, besides the core. Actual splices were, well, you'll just have to try it to appreciate it. So we go with Sta-Set for endless sheets.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
