Got back into this today. Mum's heading to Darwin next week, so I'll grab her sewing machine then. This is how it will look although its only taped together at this stage. Its basically the same shape now as my 5.5m sail but without the bottom panel

I hope you are doing it right Hillsy. That sail has never been used remember.
I would have given it a try with a windsurfer mast and boom first, but it did have some trick bits in the mast sock as I recall.
Are you going to use it as a storm sail for your Pac Mag?

Yeah, hopefully it can be a dual purpose sail, stormy for the PM plus normal sail for the mini.

Pinched mum's sewing machine today and sewed the three corners back on. I have to admit her post war Husquvana sewing machine did a great job, as did the needles Paul sent me. Didn't even break one!!

I quite like the new shape!!
