Double Braid Class II Eye Splice Modified for Turbo-37

All tucks should be made against the lay (Fig. A). After the 1st tuck, each tuck consists of passing the tail over 1 strand, then under

the next strand (Fig. B). When pulling the tail through, pull perpendicular to the direction the rope is lying, and take care not to over

tighten the tuck (this will cause unnecessary distortion (Fig. C). As the splice progresses, the tail should gradually spiral around the

standing part. To accomplish this, it is necessary to pull the tail underneath the standing part of every 3rd or 4th tuck (Fig. D).
Complete 15 tucks with full volume tail, then remove 1 strand from tail and complete 3 tucks with the remaining 2 strands (Fig. E).

Now remove 1 strand and complete 3 tucks with the remaining 1 strand (Fig. F). Tape the tails to the rope.

step

installing splice cover material

Using an appropriate sized cover material, slide the cover onto the rope and slide back past Mark 2C (onto the standing

part of the rope.) This cover material will later be used to cover the exposed cores in the splice area.

From the end of the rope, measure a length that is equal to 33 times the rope

diameter (in inches) and make a mark on the cover. This is Mark 1.

Cut the cover of the rope at Mark 1A and

remove. Cut the cover at Marks 2A and

2B and unbraid the cover strands back to

Marks 2 and 2C, respectively. Unbraid the

section of cover between Marks 1A and 1.
Remove and discard the section of cover

between Marks 2A and 2B.

Using Mark 1 for reference,

tape the cover just beyond

Mark 1 and just ahead

of Mark 2.
Keep Marks 1 and 2

aligned, measure in

the direction shown, a

distance of 10 times the

rope diameter, and mark

the cover on both legs.
These are Marks 1A and 2A. From 2A measure down standing part 10 times rope diameter and make Mark

2B. From 2B measure down standing part and additional 10 times rope diameter and make Mark 2C.
