What kind of double braid are you talking about splicing it to? I wouldn't use anything cheap like sta-set, and all the good stuff already has a high-tech core (spectra, dyneema, etc). I find it tough to correctly "tell" someone how to splice a rope (at least well), showing is really the only way as far as I'm concerned...

Posts: 12,310 South Carolina | Whoaaaaa....I never said I had one of my tapers fail. I've seen them fail and I've had a cover on a tapered main sheet wear through and separate where it is cleated (only moments after noticing it was just starting to fray and remarking "we probably need to change that out tonight"). I'm not going to tell you who made that sheet...but you know who you are. Truth be told though, I did get it at a pretty low price - in exchange for buying a dinner. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
