Seamanship Program: Resource Information
Our February Seamanship Program was a success and a great way to spend a cold, dark and wintry Maine evening.
Rob Hail started our evening our with a discussion on sail care basics and sail repair as well as what should be in your sail repair kit. Afterwords Rob demonstrated the tying of several knots:
- Bowline on a bight
- Sheet Bend
- Double Sheet Bend
- Rolling Hitch

Jere and Greggus took us through the steps involved in spicing 3 strand line and discussed practical applications for doing your own splicing as well as line whiplocks.
