MULTIPLAIT TO CHAIN SPLICE 93

09 MULTIPLAIT

TO CHAIN SPLICE

This splice allows a rope/chain junction to pass through a navel pipe or
fairlead. Unlay four pairs of strands for a distance equal to 12 chain links,
and seize. Look straight at the heart of the rope: of four pairs of strands one
lies at the top, one at the bottom and two are crossed in the middle. Use the
crossed pair for your first tuck. Either both have black marker thread or both
are plain. Separate the strands in each pair and tuck them through the first
link, two from above and two from below.

For the second tuck lead the strands along either side of the first link and
tuck them crosswise through the second link.
