Here step by step of the making of my sail First I trace the contour of the sail follow by 2 more line 2mm inside and 2 mm outside for the making of my sail I use the same glue that I use to glue the second planking on my ships a non toxic water-based rubber contact cement that cure in around 20 minute and stay flexible when dry. So using that kind of glue I fill the 4mm that make the edge of the sail and wait around 10 minutes to let it dry a bit then cut the sail to size I then fold the edge to have a nice finish using the handle of a pair of pliers I press the edge to equalize the border. both sail prepare Show the line that I trace to represent the sheet of canvas that are made the sail Is the sewing of the rope that made the edge that is follow by the vertical line themselves The sail complete and the sail sew to the yard. It look as a complicated process but in fact it is not. In fact it do not need any sewing skill it just need patience. Sail was made simultaneity for the section and the ship last photo what is supply in the kit ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() [ Edited Mon Sep 24 2018, 12:11pm ] | ||

May I offer a suggestion for ANY warship model. Clew up the fore and mainsails. It allows the owner to see more of the deck details. It does not detract from the appearance of the ship. Keith.
