Practical Mariner skills for those who sail hard
Learn sail and rope work while making a sea bag! 3 Evenings, $130 - You keep your bag, of course
The sea bag or its little sister the ditty bag, has long been a right of passage for the bosun or the sail maker. These bags are created with key techniques that are must have skills for old school bosun, and are fantastic skills for the back pocket of any modern sailor. During your next race, be the one to raise your hand when the skipper shouts "Anyone know how to fix a sail?!"
As you construct your own sea bag, it becomes your work bench to learn the following skill sets:
- Mend a tare in the sail
- Make your own grommets for eyelets
- Protect line (or rigging) from wear with servings
- Finish line with a crown knot and the traditional Bosun's turkshead
When you're done, you'll have an awesome looking everyday canvas bag, or you can take it out to sea!
Classes is set (based on participation) for Wednesday evenings in March 11th, 18th, and 25th. See the community calendar for more information.
