Docker's splice

The Docker's splice is sometimes known as the Marline Eye splice or the Tucked Eye splice.

It is a quick and easy method to produce a temporary eye in a rope.

Tying

• Open the lay of the rope
• Push the running end through the raised strand to make and eye
  • Adjust to the desired eye size.
• Open the lay of the standing part of the rope.
• Push the running end though. Be sure to have enough length on the running end.

Uses

• Improvise a guyline for an A-Frame tent.
