Finishing options

For an additional charge, we can splice an eye in your ropes. While a knot reduces a rope's strenght by about 50%, a splice limits this loss to approximately 10%. And remember: it's the weakest link that counts!

Our team of experienced riggers splices ropes every day. Your halyards, sheets and mooring ropes will be ready to use on board. We take pride in quality service, fast delivery and excellent craftsmanship. The most commonly chosen options are listed below: eye-splice for a shackle, eye-splice for mooring lines, whipping, tapering and endless splices. In addition, we can tailor any rope to fit the specific setup of your sailing boat. For example, we can splice a lead of stainless steelwire or singlebraid Dyneema^® into your halyard to save space inside the mast.

Premium Ropes is unique in how quickly it can deliver ropes from stock with custom-made splices. You can click on our finishing options at the rope of your choice on the the product page.
