‘Splicing modern ropes’ by Jan-Willem Polman is a practical handbook with over 30 different splicing instructions in high-res photos. Learn step-by-step how to splice an eye in a braided rope whether the rope has a polyester core or a core of super fibers (e.g. Dyneema® or Vectran®) . Also how to optimize your boat by creating light-weight tapered sheets or splice in an extra cover for more durability or extra grip. The book gives a great exposure of D-Splicer splicing tools and shows how to use them.
