SAILMAKERS TOOLS
The cordage and tool supply part of Footrope Knots is now handled by Moray Macphail of Classic Marine in Woodbridge.
This is the best way that the supply side of Footrope Knots can continue and expand. The internet has generated many more enquires and customers and the extra sales have been restricting the time we have to work on other areas of the business.
This move will enable us to concentrating on knotting, ropemaking and research, writing, teaching and demonstrating. You are still welcome to contact us for help with any of your knotty, ropey problems, and we will continue to stock a range of specialist knotting books.
You can contact Moray at Classic Marine, Unit 15, Martlesham Creek, Industrial Park, Sandy Lane, Woodbridge, IP12 4SD, Tel: 01394 380390, sales@classicmarine.co.uk
