Default whipping or dipping?

I'm not to suprised you miss the benefits and superiority of back
splicing as opposed to whipping or dipping.

I'm surprised you have anything less that STEEL rope on your
boat, Joe. Does back splicing prevent rust?

Default Line whipping machine was whipping or dipping?

I think the most high tech approach would be a line whipping machine. You
load the whipping thread into the machine, push the end of the line into the
machine, press a button, and the line is professionally whipped.

Anyone hear of something like this?
