Ropework: Knot Tying Workshop
Course Overview
Can you tie down that canoe? Lash up those sails? Throw a half hitch around the docking lines? Spend the day learning the craft of knot work and open the door to an indispensable skill that will last a lifetime. This course begins by introducing landlubbers and sailors to rope work used aboard traditional and modern vessels, and progresses to learning the 15 knots everyone needs to know. You will learn to tie whippings, bends, hitches, lashings and splices...and what to do the next time someone asks you to show them your bowline.
