How we splice 12mm Dyneema Rigging (an eye splice at each end)

We are now living aboard full-time as we prepare to launch our electric-powered 1977 Rival 38 Centre Cockpit Ketch. This is a specialised video as Jane gives practical tips on locking brummel eye splices in 12mm Dyneema. Our mizzen mast has been up for 8 months with all DIY 9mm Dyneema rigging. We have now made and stretched all the 12mm dyneema rigging for our main mast (2 backstay, 2 cap shrouds, 4 lower shrouds, 1 forestay). We found the technique that worked for 9mm dyneema did not work for 12mm and so have had to adapt. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/ Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
