Brion Toss, everyone's favorite rigging guru, is on something of a blitz at the moment with boat shows and suchlike. We sure wish we could attend the following workshop (Hey, being at anchor in the Caribbean does have its downsides)...
Handwork for the Modern Sailor Substituting Skills for Hardware in Modern and Traditional Rigs
Lashings, seizings and grommets - they are not just for ye olde rigs anymore. Modern materials like Spectra and Vectran have brought marlingspike skills into the new age. We will get you started on fabricating block attachments, standing rigging emergency gear, race boat gear and much more!
Noon, Wednesday, December 1, 2010 Northwest Maritime Center in the Chandlery Port Townsend.
If any Boat Bits readers attend, we'd love to hear all about it....
