Default whipping or dipping?

"Capt. JG" wrote...

I have several lines on my boat that were whipped properly,
and they're a beautiful sight. However, when I replaced my
fender lines recently, I dipped the ends instead of taking
the time to whip them. So far, it seems just fine, the only
difference seeming to be the asthetic.

Dang skippy.
Takes time though.


I was on a lovely boat years ago, he'd whipped. parceled,
and served most everything in sight. There were little tiny
puddings on the shrouds where the sheets would have chafed.
Very tidy yacht.


It takes time & practice. I haven't done any rope work in a
few years now, though at one time we had quite a lot of
fancy stuff around. It seems a bit affected on a trawler. On
the Lightning there was no end of opportunity for fancy
little splices and wall & crowns. We had the only Matthew
Walker'ed spinnaker sheet twings in the fleet.

Can squirty cheese be used instead of pudding?
