Splicing and Rope Work

Exclusive Services

One of the biggest contributors to scratches in a yacht's paintwork is poorly spliced, knotted or dirty shorelines and fender lines. We can replace or revamp your lines, check your fairleads and have you looking ShipShape in no time.

Fender lines:

Fender lines should be checked regularly for chafing, dirt and general wear and tear. Aesthetically, your boat will thank you for matching, clean fender lines.

We can replace your old lines with a new three-strand or braided line - cut to length, spliced and whipped.

Leather Mooring Line Anti Chafe:

Protect your costly shore lines and boat with custom made leather anti-chafe covers. These can be fitted anywhere along the line where chafe is most likely to occur.

Splicing and Whipping:

From hawsers to halyards. A good splice not only looks classy, it is strong and free of rough, scratchy, tatty ends. It also ensures every line is the right length, every time.

Line Cleaning:

Dirty, stiff, salty lines can often be fixed instead of needing to be replaced. Dirty mooring lines can put mould into your decks and scratches into your paintwork. Let us take care of that for you.
