How to Tie a Back Splice / Crown Splice ⎸Tutorial - Professional Yacht Training USA

Back Splice or Crown Splice Description:
The Back Splice provides a secure method of preventing the end of a rope from fraying.

The back splice starts with a Crown Knot to redirect the strands back towards the standing end. The splice is completed by braiding the ends back into the standing strands. About three complete "tucks" are sufficient as no load is applied to a back splice.

▶ Tying Instructions:
1.Form a Crown Knot by passing each strand over its neighbor and then tighten the knot.
2. Weave each strand into the rope by passing it over and under alternate strands in the standing end.
3.Complete a second and a third set of tucks to complete the back splice.
4. Use a hot knife to burn off the loose ends.
