If you get the right diameter of dyneema it will be more than strong enough. In many case the rope can have a higher breaking load than traditional wire. I have a j109 which is 36 foot long and I use dyneema for my back stay. The J1019 has a mast head kite so the loads can be high. The only point to consider is that dyneema will stretch as the rope beds in. This is why many still choose metal rigging for the lowers. You could always tighten the splice if it did stretch

Thanks for stopping by. Glad you found it useful 👍

Now we’re is the fun in that, all you will end up seeing is the frayed ends in your sheets and halyards.

All good points, for symmetric kite over trimming is one of the best ways to avoid a death roll.

This is why comments are great. A couple of viewers picked this up, great advice and an enhancement to the published content 👍

Thanks for stopping by and for the fabulous feedback. Looks like this video will take your big FID work to the next level !!!!!

100% on the old rope, it make it really hard, even for those who have done it multiple time. Congratulations for doggedly following the video and glad that it helped you get their. Trust me when I say it gets easier the more you do it and understand how it all works !

Glad you found our content valuable 👍

Es tut mir leid, dass Sie den Schritten nicht folgen konnten, wie so viele andere, die diese Fähigkeit beherrschen müssen

Our old milking pump got there slowly. With a new one and a warmer environment you can make a big impact !

Hmmm, interesting question which I don’t know the answer to. Looks like it is time for a research project.

Because it is cleaner and stronger than making a loop with a knot. Plus it looks cool 😎

Thanks for the feedback. If you ever get the urge to give it a go you know where to come to master it 👍

Sorcery in its purest form.

I guess it would work as long as it is constructed in the same way. That is double braid. Further to that you need to be able to feed the braids in between on another while ch may be tricky if the inner core is 100% rubber

@@BottomUPBoats I really appreciate your help. Great video. I will see what I can find that's specific to Bungie rope.

Glad we could help you understand how it is done !!!

Sounds like Linda is a keeper as part of your crew if she has mastered this skill and keeps you right.

Es ist nicht nötig, diese Verbindung zu heften, die Verbindung verriegelt sich selbst und wird unter Belastung fester. Wenn Sie befürchten, dass sie verrutscht, machen Sie das letzte Ende, das Sie vergraben, so lang, wie der andere Kern unter Belastung darauf Druck ausübt. Je länger es ist, desto sicherer ist die Verbindung.

Hard to challenge or disagree with the author of the knot bible. On the flip side if does allow us to dream up more content 😌

Thanks for stopping bye and leaving some feedback. Glad you liked it 👍

Wow, I hope the reason for not giving it a go is down to the fact that you will never have the need to put a neap loop into the end of of a length of Double Braid Rope.... If you ever need one then my advice is give it a go..... Thanks for leaving what now ranks as the nicest comment we have ever received at Bottom Up Boats !!!!!!!!

Nothing wrong with that, and one of the reasons I made the video in the first place :)

Dit is een behoorlijk lange video, dus er zijn meer details nodig om te antwoorden. Ik ben er zeker van dat ik meer dan eens een fout heb gemaakt, want er was iets aan de hand met het proberen te streamen terwijl ik de officier van de dag was.

Thanks for stopping by and the feedback. This update is getting a lot of love so will try not wait as long to be back with the next instalment !

With clear instructions even the impossible is possible :)

This is exactly how I made my first one. With that said we think it is hard to beat one of the current retail models that work a treat. D-Splicer amzn.to/3U1vK81

Yes indeed, mystical forces at play with this one.

@@BottomUPBoats What really blows me away ... and maybe someone can document this ... _someone got it almost right after _*_a whole string of people tried it with lousy results!_* ;-) ^5

@@BenTrem42 always happy to hear our videos are helping people learn a new skill. The more you do it the easier it gets.

Had not heard that one before, thanks for sharing !

After a couple of practice runs it is easier than it looks.

Anytime. Thanks for stopping by and leaving some feedback.

I would love to learn more no this method

But effective is you want to learn this new skill 🤔

Where is the fun in that 😝 I am sure you would feel differently after competing your first home made one 👍

@@BottomUPBoats Yeah, true. If I needed many I'd take the time for sure. I can, however, easily splice ski rope 😎

@@Nitrox4me planning to do demo's in 3 and 5 strand rope which sailors use of docking lines. From memory I think they will be similar.

If this was your first one well done. Cursing and a rubber mallet are great additions. I avoid the cursing to remain add friendly on CZcams 😜 The title was worded to hook you and make viewers believe they could give it a go. Even if it took you 3 hours that is still 180 minutes 🤔 Thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience !!!!

💯same story for me growing up hence the video 👍

A different process for wire but still a great skill that gives the best results. I wish I had learnt how to do this at 6 years old !!!

@@BottomUPBoats My cousin could pull the cotter pins from his tricycle and take off the rear wheels when we were 3 years old. We are 73 now and I never caught up to him mechanically.

Thanks for sharing I will check both of these out an schedule them for future release !!!!

@@BottomUPBoats Awesome. 1 inch dual braid is no slack dtuff and puting in a eye splice can often need a come along to get that last bit done but It really is worth it. 2 on a eye splice can hold a D8G thack frame. I have seen the line reduce itself down to a 7/16 th and not fail. Love that stuff eh.

:) setup all the lighting to record and started to find out that my red one had dried out. Sadly the kids only had green in the pencil cases :(

Love it !!!! 100% agreed that learning new skills is what life is all about. Thanks to CZcams for creating a platform that makes anything possible !!

Hoses can have similar twist principles so may benefit from this. Interested to see how you get on

Watch the video a dozen times and you too will be able to pull a Rabbit out of your hat and make your first splice

It will be almost the same as the rope on it's own. This is one of the primary reasons for splicing as you only loose a few % points, unlike a knot like a bowline where the same loop will cost you 30 to 40% percent depending on how it is tied.

180 mins is still minutes...... With a couple of test runs these can be completed in less than 20 minutes with the right tools and rope.

Knots reduce the breaking strain of the line and can create bumps which sheet and halyards can get caught on when the are in use on your boat. The splice maintains the breaking strain of the rope and is neater.... Plus it looks cook :)

@BottomUPBoats makes sense. Thanks for sharing this & I also enjoyed your soft shackle video 📹.

@@imaphxaznative that for the feedback !!! Always nice to hear from viewers who are enjoying our content ..... 👍👍👍👍

TIDAK

@@BottomUPBoats milik saya ada kawatnya

I have a set of these and thing they will cover the rope size you are going for. There is always variation I the spacing between the core and the cover. Depending on this you often need to go up or down a size. If you purchase from my links and get stuck you can always make a home made D-Splicer from an old bit of wire. Don’t think it will come to that, if it does drop us a line and we can talk you through how to do it 👍
