    After looking at the splice shown on the blue moment site I have to agree with Philip, it looks like a better solution. I will try it when next I end for end the rode I have on my secondary anchor. Thanks for the link, most informative.

    the line passed around the first link) and used a eye splice and shackle
    method with all its drawbacks. However I do like the "long" splice
    illustrated in the blue moment link. Makes sense. Easy to inspect for
    chafe, with attention the construction of the splice the strain on the
    three strands can be made equal and no 180deg bends to reduce the strength
    of the line..

    Thanks for asking the question Brian.
