🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between a short splice and a long splice • Effect of each splice on the diameter and strength of the rope • Typical use of a long splice in standing vs. running rigging

💭 Think About

• Think about which splice is preferred when the rope must still pass through sheaves or blocks without jamming. • Ask yourself: does a long splice usually make the rope thicker, thinner, or about the same as the original line? • Consider whether long splices are known for being weak, strong, or roughly equal in strength to the original rope.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which splice type increases the rope diameter noticeably. • Check which kind of rigging (fixed vs. moving through blocks) most benefits from a splice that does NOT significantly change diameter. • Confirm whether a long splice is generally considered stronger, weaker, or about as strong as an unspliced line.
