Not long ago,I noted a great article Tom Jackson of WoodenBoat did on selecting the rig for the boat he was building. A more recent issues,#205,the November/December 2008 one,includes a follow up piece that is also worthwhile. Jackson decided to make his own sails even though,in his words,“I had never so much as used a sewing machine before.”Jackson opens his hand on the trials and tribulations of this project,but ends with a nice “go for it”that those of us who wrestle with the boundaries of our creative abilities need to keep in our minds.
Thanks a lot for the article! You saved me a lot of precious time deciding what direction to go,
Glad to help. But thank Tom –he did the hard work!
