How to splice rope and chain
STEP 1
Unraveling the end of the rope for about 20cm and secure the end of the strands with tape.
STEP 2
Pass three strands through the last link of the anchor chain. Untwist the rope to raise a strand just below the tie on the standing part of the rope and insert one strand under it, then pull the strand through. Twist the strand to keep it tightly wound as you pull it through.
STEP 3
Take the next strand on the left. Tuck it under the next strand to the right of the one under which the first strand was tucked. Pull it through as before.
STEP 4
Now turn the whole eye over. Take the last strand and make the tuck as before under the only strand on the standing part of the rope not used yet. Stop and ensure that each working strand has gone over a strand and under a strand, and that the whole lot is pulled tight and twisted in its natural sense. No two strands should come from under the same strand.
STEP 5
For the remaining rounds of tucks, take each end over one strand and under the next one to the right, in the same order as before.
STEP 6
For the remaining rounds of tucks, take each end over one strand and under the next one to the right, in the same order as before.
