350 feet of line


For those who know Andrew well, they know he loves a challenge and  learning new skills. We found some time to actually tackle our biggest goal yet, new lines. Andrew bought the splicing tools needed for the job, a Japanese Marlin Spike, a pusher and a fid. We ordered 3/4 inch double braided lines in black with orange accents to match the colors of our boat. Each of us made at least one eye splice. I did the lock stitching and whipping on all the lines. Andrew is taking care of the last step, melting the ends to stop fraying. 2 - 50 foot lines, 2 - 35 foot lines, 4- 20 foot lines and 4 - 15 foot lines. Can't wait to see them in action.
