Low-friction Rings
I have been enamored with the prospect of using some of the new(ish) low-friction rings since I first came across them. Their simplicity and strength, especially when teamed with Dyneema, is appealing, as is their relatively low cost (when compared to blocks).
Do you have any of these rings on your boat?
Please do post a video of you splicing the dyneema around one of those rings! Or hey, just splicing a loop like he did.
Look here Jonathan…

Great, thanks, Mike. I’ll give it a try! Looks like a version of double braid, perhaps easier because the dyneema is slippery.
Splicing double braid is much more complicated. I made a video on that too.
