Premium Ropes launches three-evening Advanced Splicing webinar series March 19-26

Premium Ropes has opened registration for a paid online webinar series titled "Advanced Splicing Courses" and "Online workshop Splicing Modern Ropes" that runs in three evening sessions coded A1, A2 and A3. The sessions are scheduled for March 19, March 24 and March 26, 2026, each listed at 19:00 CE; Premium Ropes published a registration page but the capture of that page shows the time string truncated to "19:00 CE" without a complete timezone specification.

The organizer markets the series as hands-on splicing training and lays out "What you'll learn in this course:" including "Double braid polyester", "Single braid Dyneema", "Dyneema halyards/sheets" and "Softshackle". The Premium Ropes site copy also promises instruction on rope selection: "Learn how to select ropes like a professional rigger" and says "We explain the various materials and rope constructions of modern ropes." The page includes the cheeky engagement line "Are you up to the 1-minute challenge?"

Founder and instructor Jan‑Willem Polman is listed as the presenter. The site carries Polman's biographical text: "My name is Jan‑Willem Polman sailor and mechanical engineer specialised in synthetics technology. From 2008 to 2010 I sailed around the world with my wife and two young children. In the past 10 years I have spliced ropes for many yachts and I'm organising workshops and courses about splicing modern ropes. Especially for rope splicing I developed the D‑Splicer needles that are widely used by sailors and riggers." That biography ties the course to Polman's D‑Splicer needle product and to his decade of splicing experience.

Premium Ropes frames the series as a paid offering with tiered access; the German site shows "Straightforward pricing" and three named options - "Standard", "Premium" and "Professional" - but neither the registration page capture nor the summary report provides monetary amounts or currencies. The page copy includes calls to action such as "Claim your spot now!" and site UI fragments including "Mein Warenkorb" and "Your cart is empty," indicating an e-commerce checkout flow and a new webshop announcement: "Unser neuer Webshop ist live!"

Social proof appears on the page in short form: "Dozens of happy sailors, and counting!" alongside listed names and entities Marco Wildeboer, Marie Schneider, Marco Faasse and X‑Yachts Club. Visual asset labels observed on the page include "takelgaren_400x400" and "JW_400x400" in the capture of the Premium Ropes site, and several template placeholders suggest the posted extract is partial.

The series begins March 19 with session A1 at 19:00 CE and continues March 24 and March 26 at the same posted time string. Premium Ropes positions the workshop as professional-level training to "Become a yacht rigger yourself with this professional course" and to teach "the essential skills and knowledge that you need for all the ropes on board ⏤ just do the course." With Polman's D‑Splicer connection and the site's webshop rollout, expect this three-evening run to be the first of Premium Ropes' push into paid online rigging education.
