The sail looks GREAT .... What a FANTASTIC car park to sail on
Was it easy to make and did you have any problems in the design and construction?

did you sew- or use tape, and if so....what sort of tape?

I just happen to have a full roll of tyvek taking up space in my shed, but there is a pretty good chance it will soon be on the way to kalgoorlie to the end up at the "WIND, WHEELS AND WATER SKUNKWORKS"

(locally known as Landyacht's place)

Wow that looks fantastic - great job!! You've just inspired me to finish my home made sail!

(just embedded it a bit neater in your post Giz. )

Great sail. Where did you get info on broadseaming a radial sail? Nice work!

found all the info on sea breeze, landyachts info he provided in the sailmaking section. www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=38326 this topic was most helpful. sorta matched curve of mast when i laid it out. back edge of front vertical panel has even 40mm curve, landyacht used 20mm, i think. was looking for more grunt. everything behind that is flat.

sn showed me some tyvek the other day, .
I reckon it will suffer from localize stretching around the eyelets etc.
i would suggest that if making a sail that much bigger re-inforcing panels being used and wider seams.

a few notes on contact adhesives, based on experience in sailmaking experiments.
the spray on stuff is no good as the join fails in a few days.
the GEL version( no high from sniffing) is useless . it falls apart after a few days.
basically you have to use the original "non easy to use " glue

Nice Job! I think you could be on to something there. Could do with a foot rest with sides to stop feet slipping on to the tarmac. A very good looking prototype sail too. What is the sq area of the sail?

sorry, screwed that last post up. don't know how to delete one. overall sail area has not been determined yet. knew height i wanted (13') and length of foot (5'8") rest was just creativity. also paid close attention to depth and position of camber.
