I'm replacing an anchor line and am interested in some feedback as to the best way to splice the 3-strand nylon rode to the chain. I have found two very different methods of splicing and would like to know which (if either) is superior.
Method one calls for basically creating an eye splice where the first link in the chain acts somewhat like a thimble. The strands are pulled tightly around the first link and the rope is spliced back on itself (similar to what's done when creating an eye splice).
Method two is described on the page below and appears to be less common: http://www.bluemoment.com/warpchainsplice.html
Thanks in advance for any comments.
