eye splice in bight of 3-strand?

[Petedd]

Anyone have any instructions on how to make an eye splice in the bight of a 3-strand line?

What I am wanting to do is to make an anchoring bridle with a thimble in the middle of an 80-foot long run of 3./4" 3-strand nylon rope - much like the bridle offered by Mantus here: http://mantusanchors.com/mantus-bridle/

Thanks!

Hello,
I can't be sure how they're doing it, but it appears that they made an eyesplice with one piece, and then "sidespliced" the other one on. For the latter, you start the splice for the second piece a foot or so below the eyesplice, and tuck up towards that splice, until the two splices butt into each other. It might be better still if the sidesplice was started several feet away from the eyesplice, to remove the stress riser.
There are a few ways to sidesplice; in this case the structure would start exactly like an eyesplice, just with a separate piece of rope.
Fair leads,
