Fair enough Chuck and splices have their place and are quite favorable. I'm a big fan but they also carry their own detriment. Fattening and stiffening the line and wasting 2 or 3 feet of line to freshen the nip to name a few. Josh On Feb 1, 2018 7:58 PM, "Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List" <

Any knot will reduce strength at roughly 40%. A splice, done correctly, will not. In fact, rope strength is tested with a splice on each end. And it never breaks at the splice. Chuck Gilchrest Novabraid Ropes Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 1, 2018, at 5:28 PM, Josh Muckley via CnC-List

I've heard that a bowline can reduce strength by 50%. Additionally a bowline has a fixed diameter loop or eye. It takes a good amount of dressing the knot to make the eye small. A bigger eye means that the knot "two blocks" or jambs in the sheave sooner. This could be a concern if you are

" If you’re going to go that route, why not just tie a bowline?" Because: 1. This knot is more secure, it will not come undone, even if you want it to. A bowline can shake out under certain circumstances when unloaded. 2. This knot is slightly shorter in length so you get slightly more

Josh, 3/8” should be plenty big for your halyards. ½” is certainly overkill. Why not split the difference and go with 7/16”? A slightly larger sheave should create any problems. As strong as halyards are these days, some would argue that 3/8” might be a bit too large. I’m sure your
