Tauwerk für Langfahrt. Warum gespleißte Leinen länger halten

Splicing is a superior technique for modern cordage to get a tight eye in a line. Almost the entire breaking load of the line is retained and it looks much more elegant than a knot. In this lecture you will get an insight into the different constructions and materials used for modern yacht ropes. The lecture will be followed by a hands-on workshop in which participants will make their own eye splice.
