Making your own sails –WoodenBoat’s Tom Jackson follows up

WoodenBoat #205,Nov/Dec 2008Not 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.
