Des Pawson is one of the world’s leading authorities on knots and sailors’ ropework. A researcher and historian on the subject, he is the author of many books and papers. Having recently moved to Cowes, this will be a great opportunity to meet and have a chat with this inspiring craftsman. He’ll have some rope on hand to give a few demonstrations too and we’ll have a selection of his books and publications on sale, so you can pick up a signed copy by this iconic master of his trade.
