greatgalleons Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share #154 Posted April 23, 2018 its time to work on the sails, the kit provides some sails but it still needs to be sewn a bit to complete them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatgalleons Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share #158 Posted April 23, 2018 the sails must be separated and ironed, I also use spray starch. it helps keep the material from bunching up especially when sewing curves in the lower parts of the sails.

greatgalleons Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share #159 Posted April 23, 2018 sewing is not my forte, so this is my least favorite part of the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatgalleons Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share #161 Posted April 23, 2018 there is some rope around the sail in the instruction plans, so it will take a few days to hand sew this in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatgalleons Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share #162 Posted April 23, 2018 Ill use the rope provided in the kit, and some natural color thread to secure it to the sails. Altduck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatgalleons Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share #174 Posted April 29, 2018 so before I started this build I already decided that it would have billowing sails for the final construction. I also decided to have the sails billowing towards the starboard side as opposed to just forward or furled. Depending on the type of material it is necessary to either use starch or use wire inserted in the ends and bottoms. I chose to starch the because it held up really well. I have inserted wire in the past for thinner sail cloth material. JpR62 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
