MESSIS Posted January 10, 2017 #1 Posted January 10, 2017 Is there any text which I can read or someone that could tell me how can I make the sails look like filled with wind? thibaultron 1
Cathead Posted January 10, 2017 #2 Posted January 10, 2017 It partly depends on what your sails are made out of. Some people stretch the sails over a curved frame and fix them with a spray. Others run fine wire inside the seams and let the wire hold the shape. For my longboat build, I made the sails from paper, which held a curve without any extra work. thibaultron, -Dallen, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Eric Missouri River craft (scratchbuilt): 1893 steamboat Peerless; 1853 steamboat Arabia; 1865 steamboat Bertrand; Lewis & Clark barge; keelboat; 1876 steamboat Far West; Nautical builds (kits): USS Cairo; NRG capstan project; NRG half-hull; Viking longship; US revenue cutter; 18th century longboat; Bounty launch
