    Making a splice on a single braid rope

    Splicing single braid ropes, such as Dyneema, is an essential technique for creating strong, attractive, and durable loops. It preserves up to 95% of the rope's strength, unlike knots that significantly weaken it. To do it, prepare the rope by unstressing the fibers, form a loop of the desired size, insert and bury the end into the main body of the rope, then smooth and trim for a clean finish. This method is ideal for running rigging, mooring lines, and applications requiring reliable attachments. With the right tools and practice, it becomes an indispensable asset.

    The ratio between daN and kg: force and mass, what are the differences?

    Explore the relationship between daN (decanewton) and kilogram, two essential units for measuring the strength and load of materials. While kilograms express mass, daN represents force, approximately equivalent to the weight of a 1 kg object under Earth's gravity. This correspondence simplifies the interpretation of the load capacities of equipment, particularly ropes, in navigation or construction. Understanding this distinction helps you effectively estimate the strength and safety of your installations.
