Kym “Shag” Morton of FKG Marine Rigging and Fabricating and Stan Pearson of Antigua Rigging present a workshop dedicated to understanding the huge variety of rope products out there and how to ensure you are using the right rope for the right job.
In a practical session they will bring examples of many different ropes, will discuss their individual attributes and how they can be constructed to create a final product. Those that are familiar with Shag and Stan know that they have a wealth of experience in the industry and will share many stories to demonstrate how the knowledge is successfully applied (or not!) on board and under pressure.
Some discussion around the effects of chafe and fatigue will be included, as well as looking at care and maintenance. In addition they will address industry regulations and how these are interpreted to ensure the safety and legality of a rig.
There is probably not a rope related question out there that these guys couldn’t answer and the session is designed to be interactive. Attendees are also encouraged to share their own knowledge and experience before, during and after the session to maximise the learning.
Registration for this workshop has now closed.
