Splicing ausie halyard

Does anyone know the exact type of dyneema/amsteel, etc used on the Hobie company aussie halyard, and recommendations on how to splice it?

I found some videos on line, and there might only be one type of this cordage, but I don't want to assume and find the braid count or some other variable is different.

Thanks!

Fairly certain the line on new boats is Liros D-Pro, a 12-strand, single-braid Dyneema line (http://www.liros.com/en/products/produc ... d-pro.html), probably 4 mm (a little under 3/16").

It's functionally equivalent to Amsteel or any other 12 strand, single-braid Dyneema line - and the splice is the same.

These lines are very easy to splice.

Thanks for the info. Any recommendations on tools and videos to learn how to do this?

Is there any variation in the strength of splices? I would assume not, and would assume that the splice is consistent with the strength of the line. In this case, a very strong line. Would the following be sufficient for a H16 aussie halyard?

Not much variation in the splice strength - they are all far stronger than knots.

The one in the video is a Brummel splice - very common and very easy. You don't even need a fid - I've seen those done with Bic pens before. Fingernail or embroidery scissors work really well for snipping the strands in the taper.
