A big thanks to Lauren of SV Piko and Ken of SV Seeker (both sister ships) for advising us on this process.
Finished except for trimming tail |
All in all, they are not as aesthetically perfect as if done by a professional but as far as we can tell in this type of splice, pretty isn't the same as functionally strong. In fact, Carol moved a large cement block, on accident, while pulling on the splice.
