If anyone in the local community has any small boxes in reasonable condition that they would like to see re-used, we'd be delighted to receive them.
A Splice is the best way to attach a rope because it avoids tying a knot. Knots which involve one rope passing across the other at right angles can reduce the breaking load of the rope by up to 50%.
A Stitching and Whipping process is the most effective long-term method of securing the ends of your rope, whether the rope will be used for mooring, anchoring, rigging or any other onboard application.
The Stitching and Whipping Method is also known as Palm and Needle Whipping.
Maintaining your yacht is not just a great idea for safety purposes alone; it will also help to increase the boat's longevity in active life.
