The Colonel Tew Stern Line gets its name from Colonel Charles Courtenay Tew. Tew was born in Charleston, SC in 1827. He was one of 20 cadets admitted into the South Carolina Military Academy, known today as The Citadel. He was the first graduate and honor graduate of The Citadel. He would later move to North Carolina and founded the Hillsboro Military Academy in 1859. He went on to lead the 2nd North Carolina Infantry at the Battle of Antietam where he was mortally wounded.
This Stern Line is made to honor Colonel Tew and to make the connection between The Citadel and North Carolina. Featuring sky blue, white, and navy blue, this Stern Line is made to wear out on gamedays.
Materials: High-quality flat braided polypropylene rope for strength and lightness; branded silicone end pieces for secure hold; fine laser-engraved leather accent; solid brass rivets for corrosion resistance.
Handmade in Charleston: Each strap is hand crafted in the Lowcountry to meet the demands of coastal life.
Built for the elements: UV-, salt-, and water-resistant; machine washable and dryable. Dries fast for immediate reuse after a day on the water.
Fit & function: Low-profile design sits comfortably under collars and over jackets. Silicone ends grip frames without scratching.
Patent: Produced under license U.S. Patent 11,209,666.
