Captain Bob Solliday of the American Sailing Association stated in his review of 'Splicing Modern Ropes': "For anyone planning a long passage this book is a must for your library." "The handbook clearly explains in detail all kinds of splices for all kinds of ropes. Twisted ropes, braided ropes, or double-braided with cores, they are all discussed and each is unique when it comes to eye splices, splices to shackles, weight saving and tapering techniques, plus thickening and strengthening methods. Whipping techniques and halyard reeving are also covered. So whatever your rope, and whatever your need, it is in this handbook."
