Double Braid Class II Eye Splice Modified for TS-II Turbo

Pull tail out of the rope to expose the

previously tapered area. Remove the fid

and any tape at the end of the tail. From

the end of the tail, mark 3 consecutive

strands, as shown. Pull them out of the

braid and cut off close to the body of the

rope. Now, using both hands and the

weight of your body, smooth the cover

slack from Mark 3 towards Mark 4. The

tail will disappear into the rope, and a

smooth, gradual taper should result.

Pull out marked strands and cut off

When finished, Mark 2 and Mark 3 should

be at the same point in the vertex of the

eye—which yields eye size desired.

Measure 3-1/2 tubular fid

lengths from Mark 3 on the

core and make Mark 4 on the

core. Insert fid and tapered

tail at Mark 3 and bring fid

out at Mark 4. You may need

to slide the cover back at

Mark 4 slightly. Pull fid and

tapered tail out. Don’t let the

line twist. Use care when the

tail passes the cut end of the

Duravet core.

From Mark 1, in the direction of the bitter end of the line, mark every second right and left strand for 3

strands. Cut every marked strand and pull out of line (tape at end can cause resistance and may have

to be removed in order to pull out cut strands.) Tapered end will now have only 6 strands remaining.

Tape tapered tail tightly to keep from unbraiding.
