QU'EST-CE QU'UNE ÉPISSURE ?

Divider texte ici
L'épissure est un moyen d'effectuer une terminaison sur un cordage ou de joindre deux cordages sans faire de nœud. En plus d'être volumineux et disgracieux, même un nœud correctement effectué peut occasionner une perte de résistance importante sur un cordage.  Chez Marlow, notre équipe de gréeurs cumule plus de 150 années de connaissances et d'expérience en matelotage, un service que nous proposons à nos clients et partenaires industriels pour l'assemblage sur mesure des cordages, élingues et estropes.  Pour les marins et les propriétaires de bateaux, nous préconisons de toujours faire appel à votre expert gréeur local pour épisser et installer vos cordages. Trouvez ici votre gréeur local recommandé par Marlow . Pour ceux qui souhaitent réaliser leurs propres épissures, nous vous proposons notre guide complet de matelotage, ainsi que des tutoriels vidéo, détaillant chaque étape pour effectuer les épissures les plus courantes.
 

 For those wishing to splice their own ropes, we have produced a comprehensive splicing guide and range of splicing tutorials (scroll down to view) detailing a range of splicing methods. For hands-on splicing demonstrations, visit the Marlow stand at any of our shows and exhibitions throughout the year, or sign up to attend a Marlow Rope-Show held across the UK at sailing clubs once per month.

OUTILS POUR ÉPISSURES

Divider texte ici
Lorsque vous débutez en matelotage, l'utilisation d'outils appropriés vous facilite grandement la tâche.  Vous trouverez ci-dessous, la liste des outils les plus courants disponibles chez votre revendeur Marlow 

Swedish fids are used primarily for 3 strand and multiplait splicing. They also aid Marlowbraid and D2 Racing splices. 

Braid on Braid Fid Set – Selma fids are used primarily for doublebraid, D12 and D2 splices, but can also be used to aid 3 strand and marlowbraid splices. 

Splicing Needles – Large and small used for Marlowbraid, D2 Racing. Can also be used for the doublebraid splice. 

Excel Control Splicing needle – Used primarily for Excel Control and Excel D12 2.5 and 3mm. 

Other tools and equipment - Sharp knife and/or scissors, tape measure, permeant marker pen, splicing (or insulation type) tape, strong point on your work bench, hot knife or flame for sealing the rope.

ÉPISSURES CONTRE NŒUDS 

Divider texte ici
Épissures: Most Marlow ropes can be spliced, this is normally the preferred method of termination. A good splice using the recommended method should not reduce the strength of a rope by more than 10%. 

Knots: A knot will reduce the strength of the rope, sometimes very significantly. This loss is caused by the tight bends and compression found in any knot. The amount a rope will be weakened will depend on the knot, type of rope and the material from which it is made but can be up to 60% 

Tailles des yeux: Wherever possible the angle formed at the throat of a splice when it is loaded should be 30 degrees or less. This means that the length of the eye when flat must be at least 2.7 times the diameter of the object over which the eye is to be used and the distance from the bearing point to the throat when in use should be at least 2.4 times the diameter. Some materials like Aramids and HMPEs (Dyneema) will require a larger eye with an angle at the throat of 15 degrees or less.

Ligne de contrôle End-to-End - Ligne de contrôle. 
The Excel Control Line Continuous Loop splice is specifically designed to make endless loops useful for kicker, cunningham and outhaul systems.  Marlow’s Control Line has a tough, strong cover that takes much of the load bearing duties and a small polypropylene core that is designed to be sacrificed in this very neat end-to-end slice.
Skill rating: Beginner 2/5

Excel R8 Taper – Excel R8 
A Taper splice is useful in areas of rope that don’t require handling, for reducing friction and when needing to change the diameter of the line. Marlow’s high performing Excel R8 is the perfect rope for this type of splice available in 4-8mm diameters either working as a halyard or high performance sheet working well in ratchet blocks.
Skill rating: Intermediate 3/5
