Round two of the backstay splice, and this is the part that most people get wrong ⬇️
If you don’t get the tension right here, the whole thing fails under load. And on a solo non-stop circumnavigation, “fails under load” isn’t really an option.
Watch Part 1 first if you haven’t, otherwise stay with me for Part 3 to see it finished.
Any riggers watching – let me know if you’d have done anything differently 🤔

I’m attempting to become the first Zimbabwean – and the first person from an African landlocked nation – to sail solo, non-stop, around the world in the Global Solo Challenge 2027 (@globalsolochallenge). Comment ZIMBO below if you’re interested in sponsorship opportunities or would like to donate to the cause – every contribution goes directly towards getting Shamwari to that start line 🇿🇼⛵
