Rich, I just fitted new ropes and decided to splice all the loops myself bit difficult to get started but after the first couple it`s a doddle ....... don`t stand too close to slinky else your fingers will be spliced into a perfect loop ............ every piece of rope is loop or end spliced right down to fender hangers and tie ups

get some tyres man, great for winding the yotties up

or fill the fenders with expanding foam, keeps em up permanently, and just as 'fendery'

Rich, I use 150mm dia by approx 700mm long

Tony, I had to "Break" the old rope to get it "Folded up" in a bag to dispose of as it was so Hard ....... (except for the area that went through the cleat as that was down to only 3mm dia anyway )
