Also, for splicing, there is a cool little tool called a fast-fid. If you do not have one, look into it. https://www.amazon.com/Factor-55-Fast-Rope-Splicing/dp/B07GFHZS5Q/ref=asc_df_B07GFHZS5Q?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80745437134423&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584345016047466&psc=1 My background is not in boats, but in rigging for off-road vehicle recoveries, so line strength is very important to me.
