Very good video and that's exactly the size I need for my 43 ft trawler. My rode is 21 years old and only have 100 ft of chain and 100 ft of line. Thinking of putting on a new 300 ft line. Does your splice easily go thru the windlass?
I have a 41' sloop. My materials alone cost over $500. If I will were to say I could do it, I will not have any availability until October and between materials and my labor, you will pay more than $400 I am sure. Given the size of your boat, $400 might be a bargain. By the way, I do NOT live in Rock Hall. My boat is berthed there. If you are still interested in discussing this, let me know.
@@captrobchichester I may hit you up. I have the line and chain so I'm going to give it a shot myself first. Your video was pretty detailed. Wish me luck
Ummm... why are you doing it worng? Why are you putting all the pressure on one place of tge line instead of splicing it into the chain so the weight bearing is spread along a longer stretch of the line?
@@MyBoatLife But one has a single point of failure at the weakest point in the lashing that also happens to have lots of natural friction. The other distributes the load across the entire lashing and does not have a single point of failure at its weakest point.
The shot is overexposed and rather wide, makes it hard to follow. The best splicing videos are shot “over the shoulder”, i.e. looking down, so we see the same as you do. You clearly know what you’re doing, but it’s not very clear to follow.
Great video still, thanks Captain
Capt Rob is the best!
Great video! And such a calm voice...almost that Bob Ross quality. Thanks

Does your splice easily go thru the windlass?
@captrobchichester can answer that but believe so
How strong is this connection?
strong - Capt Rob is a 200 ton licensed captain who also does charters so he really knows his stuff
Nice job
Thanks! Captain Rob is our sailing expert - he knows his stuff!!
How long were your three lengths? A foot?
@captrobchichester can you answer?
Captain Rob, I am in Rock Hall and either need to do this or spend $400 for a new set up. any chance your available for hire?

@@gschlectic Good luck! Getting the right chain and getting the first tucks of the line right are the biggest challenges.
Glad Rob’s video was helpful - he’s the best!!

Both methods work good

What he is doing is not “wrong,” it is an alternative to a longitudinal splice which has its own failure mechanisms.
Looks to me like he's putting the pressure in three points. Each strand.
Anyone that calls himself CAPT IS A DORK
He literally is a 200 ton licensed captain

Yep, he’s a boat captain & not a videographer, but we very much value his expertise & advice!
