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 19: Cutting out the space for the yoyo stoppers

1. Tape the sail to the plan. At page 5 of the plan you will find a circle that marks the place for the yoyo stopper.

2. Mark the centre of that spot. From that mark, draw a short line of 10 mm long at 8mm left and right of the centreline. Cut the rectangle out with a soldering iron.

3. Using a sharp cutter, cut open the molten pieces Dacron.
