How To Long Bury Splice and New Dyneema Rigging. : Part One.

Decided to replace our old stainless wire standing rigging with new synthetic dyneema rope using the long bury method and low friction rings. This How To video is an interview I did with an Australian rigger Peter Grieg. I took this video, with the idea that I would use it as a guide when I did my own synthetic rigging. I was not intending to put it out on YouTube. Other than adding a couple of bits for clarification, the video is unedited and starts when I turned on the camera. It's not organized into a step one, step two... Rather it is a simple hands on conversation with a very experienced rigger, who has a passion for spreading the word on synthetic rope and its many benefits. This is Part One: Peter goes over how to calculate, or measure, the length of the replacement synthetic stay. How to correctly do a long bury splice in dyneema. How to add a single and multiple low-friction rings. Goes over his "width of palm plus thumb" rule. Next Episode Part Two: What I learnt in handling Dynice Dux dyneema. Making my own fids. Mistakes I made. What I would do differently. Would I still go with dyneema or stay with stainless if I had a bigger budget and more time? Breakdown and cost of the new synthetic rigging, covering(sheath), tools and low friction rings.
