Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Frayed ends on running rigging cause premature wear and hinder smooth passage through blocks, clutches, and sheaves.Watch To prevent fraying, apply a waxed whipping line to the end of the rope.0:52 Secure the line to a fixed point and pull it taut to ensure the core remains tight within the cover.2:30 Form a loop with the whipping line and wrap it tightly around the rope for a distance equal to the rope's diameter.3:06 Pass the working end of the whipping line through the initial loop, then pull the starting end to draw the working end underneath the wraps.3:31 Trim the excess whipping line with a sharp knife, leaving approximately one-eighth of an inch of material.4:42 Use a torch or lighter to melt the remaining ends into the whipping to lock the finish in place.5:46 This technique protects the line's core and ensures the rope maintains a clean profile for hardware compatibility.6:09
