Hi all,
First, thanks to Patrick for the kind words about the class. How's that boat coming, Patrick?
Next, the core-to-core splice is emphatically covered in the splicing video. If you can't find it, please be in touch with christian@briontoss.com.
And yes, 3/8" is massive for your boat. 5/16" is too, but as Brian notes it would be too small for the belay, let alone your hands. The best option might be to use 5/16", then splice it into a 7/16" Dacron tail. You'd get lightness aloft, a net savings in cost, and comfy handling. How to do the splice? We haven't published that yet, but you could come to the class...
Fair leads,
Brion Toss

Do you ever run workshops on the East Coast?

I agree about an East Coast Option. It would be really nice if it coincided with the wooden boat show or classic boat shows both of which are in Mystic this year.

Thanks, Brion, and let me endorse the comments about an East Coast workshop, but my vote would be to have it in the Chesapeake area.
