Sailing Lessons - How to Make the Best Splicing - Episode 24 How to make splicing while cruising is the topic of the new video episode of Sailing School, which illustrates the differences between the various types of ropes and an example of splicing. Also, rewatch the video on splicing with Matteo Sericano, filmed a few years ago. Splicing while cruising Splices, or leads, are used to join two ropes or create rope loops. They have a better load-bearing capacity than a knot, are fixed, and last longer. Splices are the right solution when we want to create a loop with a splice, for example. Understanding how to make splicing takes practice and time, but a well-executed splicing allows us to exploit the maximum load supported by our ropes. The knot, in fact, is the weak point of a rope under tension and can reduce the maximum load by up to 40%. Five advantages of splices over knots: Higher resistance; the spliced ​​point can actually outperform the breaking load of the line itself. Reduced weight; for example, a spliced ​​sheet point on a gennaker makes a difference in light winds compared to a heavy knot. Less line is wasted. There are no "whiskers" that can get caught in rigging and blocks. They are more elegant than a knot; they are a symbol of seamanship!
