Fantastic effort there. Well done.



There is nothing wrong with cheap/free sails and the wind doesn't know the difference.

When you fit the eyelet to the tack on the front of the sail, just make sure that you tie a short length of heavy cord through the eyelet, around the front of the mast.
This is to take the strain/weight off the stitching on the bottom of the mast pocket.
Just fit some wool "tell tales" to let you know what's happening with the sail.
I use 200mm of yellow and black wool (to work out which side they are).
I just lift an existing stitch along a batten pocket or sail seam about 25% back from the mast pocket and slip them under, with a knot in one end.
Do this at 3 or 4 heights up the sail. It really helps to know what your sail is doing when you start off.
Lots of fun to be had with this sail.
