[C320-list] New lines

[Dean Vermeire]

Dave,

What I just read is that you can send your lines to Scott to have them
spliced or whipped.

:)

West Marine or any rigging shop will do this. On the other hand learning to
whip and splice is one of the pleasures of boat ownership in my view. I
bought some tools and books a few years ago and after a few practice splices
I was able to make a perfectly good eye splice in double braid, single braid
or 3 strand line. It's a very satisfying skill to have and not that hard. I
often take a splicing project with me on vacation if I know I'm going to
have down time. I recommend Brian Toss Rigging website for resources to get
started.
