where can I find a simple pictoral guide to splice three strand ropes and make eye splices.
I've been told it is simple but need help

Many years ago I was given a small pocket sized handbook called "Knots and Splices" by Cyril Day. Lost it and bought another, It's still in print and very cheap. Covers all the basic knots. And yes splicing a three strand rope is easy.

Re: Knots & Splices
Thanks for the site address.
Knots are clearly illustrated but was unable to find section on splicing.

handy site to know but a bit worrying ....
about the fact that rope should not be exposed to a lot of sunlight - bit difficult on a boat especially for a mooring warp although in the UK we don't seem to be getting much (sun that is)!
I guess this is probably USA 'anti-litigation wording' otherwise known as cover your *rse!!

Here\'s a probably daft suggestion......
Anyone in Plymouth/ Okehampton / Tavistock sort of area fancy getting together for a pre-season pub evening of socialising and splicing?
I'm sure that within an hour or so, all but the most seriously rope dyslexic would be able to produce a decent eye splice and back splice, with some helpful advisors on hand.

A great idea Neal BUT (and it is a big one) that area is a little far for me to travel.
I will have to forgo the session and remain here in St. Kitts West Indies.
Good luck
Cheers

It is run by Tim and Jo.
