Knots 201
Cindy Kraus

Picture
You can practically tie a bowline one-handed with your eyes closed, but you’ve always wanted to learn a few of the “fancier” knots. This is your opportunity! Cindy’s nimble hands will challenge – and teach – you to tie a tugboat hitch, an Alpine butterfly knot, and even a fast Monkey’s Fist to help heave a line. Get ready for the really interesting.

Cindy began sailing in her early teens on Class X and Scows. She became a member of the UWM Sailing Club, serving as Fleet Captain and instructor. Cindy and her husband Bob have cruised on their Pearson 323. They’ve gone down the Mississippi, across the Gulf of Mexico to the Bahamas. They‘ve also navigated the Intracoastal Waterway, the Erie Canal, and Canada’s Trent Severn Waterway. Cindy is a US Sailing Club Judge and Certified Race Officer and has been involved in the sailing community, serving on many race committees. She has served Milwaukee Yacht Club as a Fleet Committee chair, Race Committee chair, and PHRF Fleet Captain.

Skill level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
