Bend & Hitches

Learning Objectives

By the end of the module, Sea Cadets will be able to:

(a) perform a successful eye splice under video-guidance

(b) describe the practical applications of the eye splice

Bends and Hitches

Do you remember performing the back splice last year? What function does splicing the rope have?

If you need a quick revision on back splice, you may head over to the Senior Cadet's Sea module found here.

Task

Practice a few times. Once you are ready, challenge yourself:

• Perform the splice within 10 minutes successfully to prove that you have mastered it perfectly!

• You may wish to video yourself tying the knots and share it with your cohort and Teacher Officers.
