Hold On Here
THAT IS NOT AN 8 STRAND ELONGATED SPLICE
described in the article.
Assume is the mother of all screw-ups.
It ought to be,
Don't know how you take 8 strands of 5/8" nylon thru a single link of 5/16 G4.
No wonder it didn't compute for me. I think the splice is ugly as shown. I mean it is not conceptually correct.
OK. so where is that 8 strand to 8 link long splice?
Somebody has to have done it!!!
Mr. Danicic.....?

Just spoke with a nice gentleman in Alabama at Buccaneer.
When you order from them they do the regular back splice that T.R.Rigging does for Defender. They do not do an elongated splice for 8 Strand OR 3 strand. He suggested going to a rigger. Or a sail loft. He did understand the reason behind a long splice. They've never had a complaint about the 8 strand, except for skippers getting the size wrong for their windlass.

BUT imco it is conceptually correct!![Cool](images/smilies/cool.gif)
Mr Nielsen certainly believes so....
