Having Te Moana alongside at the marina gives me a chance to show off my newly found rope splicing skills. Splicing is an ancient craft, but not that hard to learn. Very satisfying to create and useful to boot.

Am seeking info to lrarn how to splice rope - yours looks extra good Kind regards Milton Owen
Milton, most boat shops sell books to show you how to learn how to splice. The simplest three strand splice is also the easiest to learn and very satisfying to use. Alternaively, you can search google for a website that shows how to create splices. Here's one: http://www.neropes.com/splice/default.htm
I learnt doing splices in front of the telly after work, very relaxing....
Many many thanks your reply and info which is all I need stop seasonal greetings and good sailing
