How to sew your sail into a furled sail
Den 12. june 2013
Curious?
One of the things I find really exciting is to see how things work and know how they are made. I often ask sailmakers if I can take a look at their sail loft and have a chat about sails. If you are a little bit nerdy as I am, you can easily spend an hour or two on this.
Here is a video showing how a headsail is sewn to fit into a furling. You don´t have to keep showing up at your local sailmaker.
You could do it yourself - you can borrow a sailmaker sewing machine so that it isn't cumbersome.
Actually, you can buy a set which contains all the materials and do it yourself. However, since it costs about 200 Euros, I would probably spend the money elsewhere.
Remember that we deliver new sails at half the price of the standard price.
Happy sailing!
