The Marlinspike Sailor by Hervey Garret Smith

Hervey Garrett Smith was the foremost marine illustrator of the 1950s and 1960s. His wonderful drawings of traditional ropework quickly propelled The Marlinspike Sailor to cult classic status when it was published in 1956.

With the addition of a section on modern, synthetic rope in the 1970s, its popularity has continued undiminished.

It teaches a few basic knots - the bowline, sheet bend, and rolling hitch, among others - and splices in three-strand and braided rope.

But its real business is decorative rope and canvas work - the traditional arts of the sailor, and here, it has no equal.

This book is the book of choice for a rope mat, a rope ladder, a sea chest, a ditty bag, a canvas bucket, a mast boot, and the best-looking rope fenders or heaving line in the marina.

Paperback, 8-1/2" x 11"
130 Pages
