Jan-Willem Polman
founder of Premium Ropes.
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.
Dozens of happy sailors, and counting!
