RING SPLICE
                        This splice attaches the working end of a rope to a ring or clew. Chafing

                       between the ring and strands is minimal if the first round of tucks is pulled
                           tight. Many sailors and fishermen use it to attach rope to chain, but
                       directions for a safer, more professional Rope-to-Chain splice are given in
                                                            chapter 11.
