One thing I was kind of unhappy about - especially in the posted photos - is that shine on the sails. The instructions called for painting the sails with a cream-consistency slurry of water and PVA (I used white bookbinders glue) to stiffen the sail. I don't know if there were other options, the glue slurry needed more water, or if I could have just left the sail unstiffened. The stiffened sail did make mounting it to the mast easier since it was a stiff piece. I didn't see the Vanguard Ranger, which comes with sails, having this step.
