Small Sail Designing Tips

[Lakefield Dan]

I'm restoring an 11' Lakefield sailing/rowing dinghy and would like to make a new sail but need tips, advice on what to watch for, design tips, etc. I have th old sail in nylon but want to use a white fabric instead. Any ideas, sources of info., books, etc.? Thanks, Dan

Unless you really, really want to get into sailmaking I'd suggest starting a relationship with a local sailmaker.
On the otherhand you can try: www.sailright.com a company that offers kit sails, materials machines ect.
You can also try Sandy Goodall who serves as a consultant to many sailmakers including mine,see:
