RE: Splice strength
That last site, the one showing the braid over braid splice, is an instruction that is ususally reserved for dacron lines -- which are not recommended for mooring lines.* There*IS an eight strand braid in nylon that is highly thought of by some and there is a method of splicing that type of line -- but I never learned to do it.* The three strand nylon splices very easily and there is an excellent rope to chain splice that I've used for years with good success.* Have you looked into this approach?
