Download or read book Splicing Modern Ropes written by Jan-Willem Polman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time when every vessel going to sea made use of 3-strand rope has gone. Splicing that type of rope and cord is relatively straightforward. Nowadays the most common type of rope used on board yachts, dinghies, motorboats, working boats and ferries is braided rope. Few people have the knowledge to splice it, or even where to start. Splicing Modern Ropes is the first guide to this essential skill. It explains why splices are better – and stronger – than knots or shackles for joining or shortening rope, and how to go about it. With this skill, yachtsmen can customise their ropes, optimise their deck layout, taper their sheets for ease of handling, and splice an extra cover on their ropes to give better grip, avoid chafe and make them last longer. Using clear, step-by-step photography and detailed instructions, this book will guide readers through all the stages required to make strong, reliable splices.

Download or read book Born to Rope written by Lee Nelson and published by Cedar Fort. This book was released on 2004 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the greatest Western writers of all time, Lee Nelson, comes Born to Rope. the flinch in a horse's, the drop of a boy's eyes: This is a rare book, attentive to the simple detail out of which great stories flow. from mustang bands sweeping up the bands sweeping up the hidden draws and ridges of the high, desolate San Rafael Swell to a horse-trading oasis hidden deep in an auto-wrecking yard on the outskirts of Spanish Fork, Utah, Nelson finds voices, elegant in their terseness, of people you never knew but should know. This is the story of Michael Diamond's coming of age, of finding grace in tragedy. Reviews - In Born to Rope, I found something that I didn't know I'd lost. Not since I was a child reading King of the Wind did I find myself caring this much about a horse. - Warren Hatch, Salt Press I am not an avid novel reader. I would rather read magazine articles, search the Internet, or find other sources of facts or information. However, your book Born to Rope caught my eye. I read slow, but your book seemed to read fast. I am new to horse ownership, owning 4 horses, including a very fast grandson of Easy Jet. I have never attempted to rope but a few of my neighbors rope in a corral/arena just behind my place and I have enjoy watching their efforts from my deck during the summer. Your descriptions of Max were very painted. the emotions of the human characters were easy to feel. It was an awesome book! By the end I was wishing it was longer. Thanks for the great read! - Jeff Rowley
