Splice double braid til to amsteel blue

[allene]

I agree that this splice is difficult to do. I don't use it myself and for your application I would think interlocking eye splices would be the way to go.

There are 30 photos on my web site showing the different steps. Which one are you having trouble with? Maybe I can give some pointers. Personally I have moved on from this splice to better ways to make a halyard so I will probably not be making another one and thus no opportunity to make video. Sorry.

Allene,

I am planning on using it for a furling line so it has to be continuious diameter, or close. An eye-eye won't work. I think I may just buy some Tenex and core it with dyneema, but I was hoping to learn something new.

I think it was the step where the a steel is buried. But I can't remember now. I am going to have to try one and won't have the time for a few days.

I thought you were making a topping lift. For a furling line, maybe just use the Tenex without the core. It is pretty strong stuff by itself. Make sure you get the white. The colors rub off.

The problem there is... It's a big sail with a small drum. I need the dyneema so I can use really thin line to get enoug wraps.

I might point out that my StaSet to Amsteel is 1/4 inch StaSet to 1/8 inch Amsteel so not even close to constant diameter. One thing you might consider is having Amsteel and must some cover over the short section where you need to cleat it. Whatever you decide, best of luck.
