It isn't everyday you get a private tour of Richard Branson's Necker Island by Gumption's Tours. This was the highlight of this past sailing trip.

In this informative YT short, we delve into the subtle differences in sea language between rope and line in the world of sailing. While some sailors may be particular about their usage, we take a more laid-back approach and explore the technical distinctions. Learn how rope is considered a raw material, while a line is a rope with a specific job onboard a vessel. Get a clearer understanding of these nautical terms and improve your sailing knowledge today!
Today way a day of sitting in the sunshine and splicing ropes for a new bridal on my mooring. My hands are sore but the ropes are done and they look pretty good! Today you can buy dock lines and anchor lines with an eye already spliced into one end, but this is more expensive than buying the same line off a spool. It also forces you to buy your line in one of the available lengths. Putting in your own eye splice can be a better option. A splice you put in yourself will be just as strong as one done by a professional rigger, and splicing an eye into three-strand rope is really very easy.
