It’s no secret that I want to have my own sail boat. I was hoping that 2007 would be the year when I would finally learn how to sail. Sadly being fiscally responsible has made that difficult. Instead of letting that get me down I’m going to take some cheaper classes that will teach me other skills I need to own a boat.

So I just registered for the Basic Knots class taught at the Center for Wooden Boats. This is the first class in a four part series that teaches the knots and rope skills. Thanks to the fact that the classes are spread out and fairly inexpensive I should be able to attend them all.

I should probably pick up some rope to practice after the class. I’m going to wait to see what the instructor recommends, but does anyone have any good local sources of rope?
