Project Description
If your family sails or if you need to lash down the canoe on top of the wagon, come join us in a three-morning workshop practicing marlinspike seamanship skills. What exactly does that mean? The term covers a lot of ground, but we’ll be focusing on rope work primarily.
We teach knot work using motor memory—a skill learned from wise sea captains but also from the workshops offered by the late Brion Toss (The Rigger’s Apprentice) in his studio in Port Townsend, Washington. We’re choosing knots that go together to make things work, and we’re teaching them in a way a 7-year-old and a 70-year-old will remember and use.
