The Sail

step 1: Putting the plan and the moulds together

step 2: Cutting the sail, Mylar, Dacron and the fortification for the nose

step 3: Putting together and glueing the sail parts

step 4: Sewing the two halves of the sail

step 5: Glueing the two halves (at the spine)

step 6: Glueing the fortification for the stand-offs

step 7: Glueing Mylar or Ripstop as fortification

step 8: Sewing the fortification for the spine and stand-offs

step 9: Glueing and sewing of the fortification for the upper spreader

step 10: Glueing and sewing the Ripstop for the “trailing edges”

step 11: Glueing of the nose bag

step 12: Sewing of the spine tunnel

step 13: Glueing and sewing of the fortification for the central-T

step 14: Glueing of the leading edges

step 15: Marking the leading edges and the nosebag

step 16: Sewing of the leading edges and the nosebag

step 17: Inserting the leechline

step 18: Glueing and sewing of the fortification of the nose

step 19: Cutting out the space for the yoyo stoppers

step 20: The holes for tensioning the leading edges and placing the stand-offs

Step 16: Sewing of the leading edges and the nose bag

1. Place the heavier thread (100% polyester) and the number 100 needle on your sewing machine.

2. Put the sail down with the front side up and the tip under the foot of the sewing machine.

3. Set the sewing machine on a zigzag seam with the highest possible step (interval).

4. Follow the steps outlined here to start the sewing. The first hole is at 2 mm from the end of the tip and at 1 to 1,5 mm from the border of the leading edge.

Watch Out: It is important that you use the same 4 holes. At the end of "step 6" in the picture, set the sewing machine to a three steps zigzag seam or a wave seam.

5. Sew the three steps zigzag seam up to the mark you made on the nose bag and the leading edges. (look at step 14)

6. Change the three steps zigzag seam or the wave seam to a straight seam and the interval at 4 mm.

7. Sew the nose bag at 1 to 1,5 mm from the border and end this sewing against the seam on the leading edge.

8. Pull the front thread from the tip backwards and knot it to the back thread.
