Which splice do you want to learn?
Soft schackel
In this video you will learn how to make your own soft schackel. A soft schackel is a useful tool in sailing that can be used to connect different types of lines and ropes. To make a soft schackel, you need a strong rope, a splicing needle and wire.
Products we use in the film:
Shoemaker's split
Maybe not as beautiful as a regular splice but oh so simple, oh so durable. A shoemaker’s split is perfect if you want to make a loop at one end of a three-strand rope. If you need to adjust the length of the loop or rope, just pull the line out again, readjust, and splice it back in.
Splicing HMPE/Dyneema-ropes
Splicing rope is something everyone can learn. Depending on the type of rope, there are different levels of difficulty. Splicing a HMPE/Dyneema line is one of the easiest things you can learn. In this video we show you how to do it.
