Welcome to Sailor Made Ropeworks! My name is Tim. After a wonderful career in the United States Merchant Marines, I've learned quite a few things about rope-work and its overall importance. From line splicing to Rope Fenders, Monkey Fists and Woggle Rugs (sailor/ocean plaits), there was never a dull moment. I will always give full credit to the man who took me under his wing and taught me how to be the very best rope worker around; his name is Joe Olson (Bosun of the CS Global Sentinel). Because of Joe Olson, I not only learned rope-work but fell in love with it! After all these years, I still love rope-work! Thank you Joe!

Carrick is the Gaelic word for "rock". The name Carrick is believed to come from the word "Carrack" which would have been a three to four mast merchant vessel used in the late 14th and into the 15th centuries. The knot itself (Carrick Bend) is believed to have been fashioned from a medieval Gaelic breast plate and has become one of the most beloved rope-work designs of all time (one of my favorites for sure).
and remember, if I'm sold out of what you're looking for,
