Small Sail Designing Tips

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, construction details etc. I have the old sail in nylon but want to use a white fabric instead. Any ideas, sources of info., books, etc.? Thanks, Dan
