Ropes/splicing

[single]

I need to change loads of the running rigging, so who/where is cheapest in Cardiff/Barry? Mostly just need new lengths with one end on each spliced/eyelet.

They do because they are done by people who do this every day. Would you ask a green grocer to cut your hair?

Try Ropeloft, he is a mate, his boat is next to mine. But he is good and agressively priced.

I bought a fid set and doing them myself now! This is my first attempt and took about 20mins following a youtube tutorial.

I might try the green grocer cutting my hair if it saves £8 a shot!
