WHAT

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. In this free workshop, Sören Zopf explains step by step how you can make an eye splice in a Dyneema rope yourself and sparks enthusiasm for clever splicing solutions on board. The workshop will be preceded by a 20-minute theory session on stage in the exhibition hall.

WHAT

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.
