Did not like the way the sails where looking on my build so I have added a small modification In order to add some shape to the sails, they where looking a bit like washing on the line when there is no wind, I have added a length of 1mm brass wire to the bottom edge of the sails. This I have curved prior to inserting into the hem on the bottom edge of the sail so it cannot be seen. This gives the sail some shape and also allows it to stand off from the mast Picture attached As always comments are welcombe GilShapley attached the following image(s): Current Build:-
