2019年6月4日 · If your shackle is nice and smooth with a round section, then you don't really need a thimble. If the dyneema will be bearing on something that's rough, angular, sharp, prone to corrosion or anything else non-ideal, then an ordinary stainless or even plastic thimble will help.

2020年6月5日 · Eye splices in the ends of the braid on braid sheets, attached to sail clew with a soft shackle. no undue signs of wear apparent. Dynema seems to offer a very smooth slippery surface to the sheets so I don’t imagine that abrasion will ever be a problem.

2024年11月29日 · I’m making a couple of soft eye strops to use for securing Jackstays out of Dyneema. I’ve watched videos on how to do the splice and taper the tail so I’m happy with that, It’s got me thinking though. Is there an issue with strength if the line is …

2022年11月12日 · I would and have used dyneema eye splices on jackstays. The key is the brummel being correctly secured and the length of the bury, 72 diameters including the taper, if I remember right.

2006年2月26日 · If your mooring buoy has a top eye then use two lines with eye splices in each end of both (put on some anti chafe tube before doing the 2nd splice). Attach the lines to the buoy eye using cow hitches, not shackles, and put some …

2010年11月18日 · The key difference that I can see between a duncan loop and an eye splice or bowline is that the loop will almost surely constrict with use over time, and as such, under significant load it's really more of a bend than a loop, but if a …

2007年2月19日 · What you are asking for is called a naked eye splice. I do it this way 1) Put a temporary knot 2-3 m from the end to keep core/cover aligned for the rest of the rope. 2) remove a little less of the cover than needed for the splice 3) push the rest of the cover towards the knot 4) do a Modified Brummel Splice like this Part 1: http://youtu.be ...

2011年11月20日 · The halyard knot might also be called a scaffold knot? Its cheap, simple and gets smaller the more you use it - so not sure its easy to undoe. We used it on our Dyneema lifelines when we replaced the 'covered' stainless steel wire ones, on our bridle/snubber and halyards as we end to end them...

2009年7月18日 · When I bought a new mainsail halyard, I asked for an eye splce with thimble. Lovely job, perfect splice tough as old boots. However, the splice goes back approximately eight inches after the thimble and the increased thickness won't go round the sheave at the top of the mast - so my halyard is stopping eight inches short.
