I need a chain splice not a back splice and it is quite physically demanding with all the cross whipping as you are lifting a couple of feet of chain all the time plus trying to get the links lined up. A back splice which is rope into rope is less physical but as I have 14 mm. rope, I have been advised that it could be too bulky to easily pass the finger. Mike Hall has someone who used to work at Salterns who says he can do it. I will post how I get on. If not, I have spoken to Jimmy Green Marine who will do it if I can get it to them. Could be an excuse for a couple of days in Devon ?

I have a friend at Cobbs who was recently informed by Pete that if he took his rope and chain/anchor down he would splice it. I WhatsApp my friend Yesterday after reading Alan’s post and he is surprised he is not able to do it ??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Colin, Happy that I could help you out my friend. Pete is still there, but is trying to wind down a bit. I believe he did this on Alans boat last time but no longer does that sort of thing as he gets more senior in years

Hi Charlie , firstly many thanks to you for the help and advice you gave me with regards to my new anchor winch set-up, very much appriciated , as you know the as ever helpful Pete did a great job for me to complete the job. Has he retired? , I hope he's well thanks colin

Pete would have been my go too, I have never done multiplait so cannot help. Probably why we still use three strand. Lol

Jerry, I think I might know who you mean. Allan.

Thanks. I asked him about seven years ago and he recommended Pete. However, things could well have changed since then. Allan.

I believe there is a club member who could help , however i dont want to put him under pressure!!!
