I assume you mean methods of whipping line? :D

Try Roger Taylor's book, Knowing the Ropes , if I'm not mistaken. It's sumpthin' like that. I think it's the best short reference for running rigging. He only tells ya what you really need to know--and he knows.

Chapman's would have several ways to whip the end of a line, but Taylor's book is a little gem.

OK OK minds outa the gutter, it's getting crowded down here. :D

Specifically I was looking for No. 16 black waxed whiping twine. I have some in white but Boats/U.S. does not have the black.

Chris I looked at Hamilton but did'nt see it on the web site, maybe I'll call them this afternoon.

Thanks,

Jim

Thanks Donn, the No. 16 only comes in white. The black is No. 4. Oh well I'll just have to make do.

Doc Freeman's in Seattle and many other commercial fisherman outfitters (Redden Net and Twine in Vancouver) sell tarred nylon in all the different weights. That's what I've been using.

But I've gone from rope's end whipping to the double constrictor knot, tied in the bight, pulled very tight with pliers. Then cut the tails off at 1/4", melt them with a lighter, then wet your finger and mash the melted tail into a little "button" that can't get back the way it came.

This just doesn't come undone and takes only seconds.

That's lubberly.

Why not take the time to learn to put in a whipping properly -- it doesn't take long and it will last considerably longer than the constrictor.

And the butane backsplice you put in is hard, has sharp edges and is warranted to chafe.

I don't know what weight it is, but Marlow do indeed have a heavy one as Donn says, and that's just how they classify it -- "heavy." It's available in a few colours. Unfortunately, it's not mentioned anywhere on their website (which is pretty-well useless anyway, I regret to say.)

Nicholas

That you're quite a knowledgeable bloke about some maritime matters has become clear from several of your posts.

But from blunt replies like that one, I didn't need to read your Profile to learn that you're in IT. Do you think a little bit of thought before speaking out so didactically would possibly have more people paying attention to what you have to say? A modicum of tact usually helps the social wheels go round.

As it happens, I think basically I agree with you. On the other hand, I've used Dave's method too and it has a lot to recommend it -- it's faster than any whipping, and it's considerably stronger than a plain one.

Well Nicholas, I disagree. I do know how to put in a whipping. I used to do it all the time (and still do siezings, of course), but once I learned the double-constrictor (not the single) I was so impressed by its effectiveness that I instantly adopted it.

I don't melt the ends of the rope. I don't like that either. I melt the ends of the twine and then push them down flat. This means they can't loosen, period. This knot lasts until the cord disintegrates. It doesn't unravel, at least not done this way -- not that I've encountered. I can't say the same for traditional whippings, though.

Odd, very odd,,,,,,
My sailmaker introduced me to his, and now my, favourite whipping twine and it comes from the US! All sizes, many twists including flat(untwisted). Waxed or unwaxed. Problem is I forget the name,,,,,,,
I should be at the boat soon and will examine the label.
