You could always make up some little key ring style sails like you used to get when you bought an ezzy sail.
Sadly my last one is still attached to the key to the Sponge that was sold a while back
the sails will be about A4 paper size.
I will send some mono film and a bit of mylar and some tape etc...
you'll have to put shape in them etc, something the little ezzy's dont have.
Have added batten pockets.
Sewn on luff tube, done a double clew ring just so theres one that might work.
Hopefully finish it tomorrow as its forecast to be windy sunday.....Still got no Logo...
TTTtttaaaaaaaddddddaaaaaa.....
Finished at last.
Depth wise it sets quite flat with a bit of rotation but lifts off the mast when theres wind in it...
Possibly a bit too much negative seam shaping in the three head seams as it twists a fair bit but seams again to tighten but I'll have to use it first to see if its too loose up there...
Quite a good little project I recon.
Possibly would set better on an RDM 400 mast rather than an old X3 pryde mast.
Thanks to all that got in touch about making a little shaped sail.
Instructions and cloth are in the post...
Hope you all have fun..and hopefully learn a bit and eventually make a real one..
Had ago tonight, fairly rough, but I can see the general idea working. it was quite fiddley.
good effort.
Shape is a little out but good try.
Try making the curve and sticking it all the way across as theres a flat spot on the luff edge and a little more negative on the top batten join.
Its harder than it looks specially on a little sail.....
