WHAT

Many a boat that has been abandoned could still have been afloat if systematic spill prevention had been carried out.
On the other hand, it is also a challenge to find the right moment to abandon the boat.
How to prepare and how to act practically is the subject of the demonstration and our MINI workshops, for which please join a registration list at our Meri Crash.
The Meri Crash is our spill response training boat with real leaks and real water.

WHAT

Modern ropes are increasingly replacing rigid wires on board. Loop splices are often used instead of shackles. Sören Zopf shows how to make such splices yourself and gives suggestions on how to save weight in the rig with modern cordage made from HMPE fibers such as Dyneema or Stirotex.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Sören Zopf advises Premiumropes' German customers on ropes, lines and other rigging issues on board sailing yachts. With his many years of experience, he can also help sailors with splicing techniques. In 2022, Sören opened the Premiumropes office in Kiel. He coordinates marketing and customer inquiries from there. On the water, he spends a lot of time on a wooden dinghy, but also on larger yachts. Sören's home waters are the Kiel Fjord.

Anyone can make an eye splice themselves! Sören is a ropes expert at Premiumropes and will explain in a hands-on workshop after the presentation on stage how to do it easily with ropes made of HMPE super fibers. Come along and join in, because splicing is not only very stable and looks good, it's also great fun to splice the lines on your own boat. Practice line and tools are provided, even for beginners - no previous experience necessary.
Modern eye splice instead of knots in the halyard.
