These are the rambling musings of my attempt to construct my own sail for a boat not yet built. I intend to update my progress as I go with plenty of pictures and commentary. A parallel effort will take place on the pages of the Michael Storer Wooden Boat Plans forum where I will seek more active discussion, debate, etc. This blog is more for historical record and reference.

One more post about flags...
I put my sail project on hold for awhile, but I did spend some time sewing. These flags serve two purposes: practice sewing and outfitting the family fleet. From top to bottom are burgees correctly sized for: my brother's J24, my dad's 20' speedboat, my future Goat Island Skiff, and the family Sunfish. After the second flag I gave up on doubling the white cloth. I also experimented with different techniques for fusing the cut edge of the cloth. In the end, there's nothing better than hot knife approach. Ok, enough flag crap... it's time to post about sails!
