A method of coupling first (100) and second (200) ropes together, such as to form a mooring line is disclosed. Moreover a method of forming eyes (16) as a rope termination is disclosed. According to the first aspect the method comprises the step of forming an eye end termination (116) on the first rope (100) by coupling at least one pair of subropes (114) in the first rope core (112) together to thereby form at least part of a first loop (150, 152) of the eye end termination; and coupling at least one further pair of subropes (114) in the first rope core (112) together to thereby form at least part of a further loop (150, 152) of the eye end termination, said further loop being separate from the first loop. The loops of the eye end termination of the first rope and the loops of the eye end termination of the second rope are then mounted on a connecting spool (58) to couple the ropes together. According to the second aspect, the method also comprises forming at least two eyes as an end termination, wherein each eye is formed by splicing a multi-strand coupling rope (18) to a pair of subropes (14a, 14b). A corresponding mooring line and a rope are also disclosed. |
