@GrantTyler a real man solves problems by himself. That's called a hero.
@dockattner you're spoiled brat. No doubt about that fact from this moment on.

Real men don't shy away from learning new skills...
Besides, in the "good old days" sail making was a men's job. During the travels across the seven seas, repairs to the sails were a common occurance, sail makers were onboard to maintain the sails in working condition. As far as I'm concerned sail making is a respectable skill.
ALSO TRUE.

All of you are wrong except @dockattner Paul. A real man has the ability to charm either his mother, wife or whoever else can help him, into doing just that. @GrantTyler Grant, next time I'm in SA, I'll teach you! However, what a great photograph - and that's no joke!

Grant, what are you planning to use to tint the sails? I know four ways - strong tea, strong coffee, diluted bitumen varnish, stain. However, as I heard, the first two methods (tea and coffee) have a disadvantage: over time they fade and become lighter...

There's so much wrong with this statement, that I don't know where to begin.
1. "Ability to charm"="begging on his knees".
2. A real man begging is a contradictio in terminis.
3. A species of the opposite sex "doing just that": ain't gonna happen, not until hell freezes over.
4. The "doing just that" thingy comes with a near endless list of terms and conditions.

1. Charm = begging. No! Charm is the ability to tell her to do what you want her to do in such a way that she is looking forward to it and sees it as an honor.
2. See answer 1
3. See answer 1
4. See answer 1
