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.

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.

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.
