Описание:
The definitive guide to making strong, reliable splices in braided rope, using step-by-step photographs and clear instructions to help readers master this important but tricky skill.
The time when every vessel going to sea made use of three-strand rope has gone. Still, splicing that type of rope and cord is relatively straightforward. Nowadays the most common type of rope used on board yachts, dinghies, motorboats, working boats, and ferries is braided rope. Few people have the knowledge to splice it, or even know where to start.
Splicing Modern Ropes: A Practical Handbook is the first guide to developing this essential skill. It explains why splices are better--and stronger--than knots or shackles for joining or shortening rope, and how to go about it properly. With this skill, yachtsmen can customize their ropes, optimize their deck layout, taper their sheets for ease of handling, and splice an extra cover on their ropes to give better grip, avoid chafe, and make them last longer.
Using clear, step-by-step photography and detailed instructions, this book will guide readers through all of the stages required to make strong, reliable splices

You break through the `cool` that infects our modern world and show the human soul in deepest wrestling with itself." - William Packard, late poet, editor, professor, playwright, and writer

His greatest wishis to learn to sail a dinghy by himself and understand and master all the technical terms too Although he's by far the youngest in his family and, at times, disastrously impetuous he's very quick and courageous and always bounces back fearlessly to face the next day and the next new experience on the water in his small boat.
