Taper splicing takes ages
Here are some taper splices I did last night. I put LIROS Magic Pro cover over the Dyneema tips of a Flying Dutchman tapered spinnaker sheet to protect the Dyneema where it cleats near the sidestays.
Tapered 16 foot skiff main sheet
Custom tapered main sheet made from 8mm LIROS Magic Pro. 7.8m long. Taper spliced just aft of the main ratchet block at 1.5m for smoother running thru purchase blocks. Eye spliced end to easily cow hitch onto boom. Shock cord stitched in other end for tidy up system. $150.
