Sails Away

Well maybe I ought to save that subject title for Shan Skailyn's maiden voyage. Oh well.
So this is what a couple weeks of piddling (10 minutes here, 20 minutes there, another 15 minutes there, plus a couple larger blocks of time on the weekend) can accomplish. I've managed to finish sewing up Shan Skailyn's poly tarp sail. Feels pretty good to actually get something completed! It's all sewn with polyester thread. I got the grommets from duckworks and am really happy with the quality. They're heavy duty and installed just as easy as could be.
My sail follows the plan for the 24' Wa'apa tacking sail in Gary Dierking's book.
I also worked some today (Saturday) on the hull. Pictures forthcoming...
