The time when every vessel going to sea made use of 3-strand rope has gone. Splicing that type of rope and cord is relatively straightforward. Nowadays the most common type of rope used on board yachts, dinghies, motorboats, working boats and ferries is braided rope. Few people have the knowledge to splice it, or even where to start. Splicing Modern Ropes is the first guide to this essential skill. It explains why splices are better – and stronger – than knots or shackles for joining or shortening rope, and how to go about it. With this skill, yachtsmen can customise their ropes, optimise their deck layout, taper their sheets for ease of handling, and splice an extra cover on their ropes to give better grip, avoid chafe and make them last longer. Using clear, step-by-step photography and detailed instructions, this book will guide readers through all the stages required to make strong, reliable splices.

Each knot will have a double page spread with step by step photos plus a tying diagram, accompanied by carefully explained instructions on how to tie the knot plus its most appropriate uses (for example - is it strong enough not to stretch or slip? Will it untie quickly in an emergency? Can it be tied with all thicknesses and types of rope?) All boaters need a repertoire of reliable knots they can use almost without thinking about them - this book will act as a quick aide memoire, as well as providing novices with all the steps they need to master the most useful knots they will need on a regular basis when going to sea.
