A b s t r a c t The invention relates to a hoisting system for hoisting a load. The hoisting system com prises: i) a main winch system having a main rope with an end connector mounted to an end of the main rope, ii) an auxiliary winch system having an auxiliary rope having at least 5 one rope connector of which at least one is a splitable rope connector, the auxiliary rope comprising a first section and a second section connected to the first section via the splita ble rope connector, wherein the splitable rope connector comprises at least two connector parts that are releasably connected with each other for allowing quick disconnection and reconnection between the second section and the first section, wherein the connector 10 parts are configured for releasably connecting with the end connector of the main rope, and iii) a hang-off point placed and configured for at least temporarily holding a respective rope connector of the auxiliary rope for transferring the load to the hang-off point. An em bodiment comprises two auxiliary winch systems. The invention further relates to a method for hoisting a load using a hoisting system in accordance with the invention. This 15 method has various embodiments. The invention enables a much larger reach of the hoisting system, by connecting the hoisting ropes in series.
