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.
