3-Strand Splicing
Jenny Townsend

Picture
Marlinspike seamanship has been around since sailors started messing around in boats. The laid line (ie. twisted  three-strand rope) has evolved though many variations of materials from natural to a long list of synthetics. From docklines to halyards and every where in between, the eyesplice is a fundamental element in sailboat rigging. This workshop will show you how to properly start your splicing adventures.

Jenny has competed in skiing and sailing in weather from 90° and fog to -20° and snow. She has taught all ages to sail boats from Optis and Prams to 50-footers. Jenny has done buoy and offshore races since childhood. She and her family have cruised Lake Superior. She has raced her J/24 in hundreds of buoy races with family and female-only crew, and has competed in many handicap and one-design events. She was also the first 2nd generation/2nd female Commodore of Duluth Yacht Club.
