- Option 1 - Select a finish - Ensure that you select a splice if you want to attach a fitting - not making a selection will result in a basic heat gun cut
- Option 2 - Pick a rope and enter your finished length - this will be the length from bearing edge to bearing edge
- Option 3 - Select a finish for the other end, if required - not making a selection will result in a basic heat gun cut
Once you have made your selection from all the drop down boxes available, the website will generate:
- a picture version of what you have chosen
- an overall length
- a price including VAT, or excluding VAT if you are signed in with an export delivery address
Jimmy Green Custom Build Running Rigging Advisory
The website will accept a length to 3 decimal points. However, this is not usually practicable.
For critical high load, super low stretch, control line applications, the Jimmy Green Rigging Team aim for a bearing edge to bearing edge measurement which is accurate to within + or - the diameter of the rope.
However, Jimmy Green Marine will only accept responsibility for bearing edge to bearing edge measurements to within 2 x + or - the diameter of the line.
For a lazyjack line, a length to the nearest metre or half metre should suffice
Jimmy Green Rigging Team Whipping Advisory
If you don't need a splice, a whipping is advisable to prevent the end from unravelling and to maintain the integrity of the rope construction.
We offer a heat sealing option which melts and moulds the end of the rope, and the additional option of a heat shrink band to keep the end of the line bound together.
However, these are only temporary solutions, and a proper whipping is always recommended to guarantee the integrity of the line.
Of course, we understand that you may wish to apply the finishing touch yourself, and we sell all the FIDS, TOOLS AND WHIPPING TWINES to add to your onboard service kit.

Additional Notes for your Custom Build
You can add a note for your own benefit or to advise the Rigging Team of a specific requirement.
This note will appear in the product description in your basket
Common examples:
- Add a name for identifying your selection
- Splice on a fitting that is not in the custom build drop down menu
- Request a different loop size
Jimmy Green Additional Fitting Advisory
When a fitting is requested from outside the custom build process, it will be assumed that the finished length is measured to the bearing edge of the additional fitting(s)
In other words, the finished length will include any shackles, hooks or fittings.
The same principle applies to special requests for different lengths of loop.
The Jimmy Green Rigging Team Finished Length Process for Lazyjack Lines with a splice at both ends
- Splice one end
- Secure the spliced end to the bearing edge pin on the splicing bench
- Lay the the rope out straight against the fixed tape measure
- Calculate and mark the turning point for the splice at the other end of the rope
- Estimate the extra length required to complete the splice and cut accordingly
- Complete the second splice
- Check the finished length against your order
Quality Control
The Jimmy Green Rigging Team undertake to check your rope meticulously during the production process to ensure that it is 100% First Quality.
The Jimmy Green Despatch Team make a second thorough quality inspection of each item, including a careful check that it matches your order, before packing it into your parcel.
Additional Information
The finished length is measured from the bearing edge to the bearing edge = the inside face of a loop/thimble where a shackle pin would take the load and therefore NOT the overall outside length.
The splicing price includes the extra rope required to make the splice and meet the overall finished length
Please take extra care when ordering because once a bespoke item has been started (cut), it can neither be cancelled nor returned for a refund.
