realworkingsailor Posted June 3, 2013 Author #661 Posted June 3, 2013 Augie and Grant, thank you both very much, but I'd keep an eye on a certain Dutchman while I'm away... I think he's added some contraband ammo to his build.... Wayne, aside from heaving lines and mooring ropes, pretty much everything else is steel wire rope (cable). Although I'm pretty sure I can still manage the odd short splice, it is a little easier working on the real thing.
