About me
A lifelong sailor with experience ranging across a variety of sizes and rigs, Sue has always had a fascination for knots and the maritime tradition of Marlinspike Seamanship which links craftsmanship with functionality. Sue now operates as a yacht rigger and professional rope maker and knot-tyer. She works with traditional and modern materials. Sue is the Chair of the Trustees of the International Guild of Knot-Tyers, a UK based organization with members in over thirty countries, that exists to ensure that the skills involved in knot tying are promoted and don't die out. Sue is regularly asked to demonstrate ropemaking which she loves to do as it is a hands on activity that, with guidance, anyone young and old can master the basics of very quickly.
