Grant, it's like matriculating from high school ... you only have to do it onceGood morning Mark. Thanks for the compliment. It is appreciated. Sail time- this is going to be a disaster waiting to happen
I read on other forums that craftsmen use two types of fabric for sails - cambric and percale.SAILS….I have read up on materials used and I am still in a quandary which way to go….
My friends who are in the know and have made awesome sails….
@dockattner , @Daniel20 , @RDN1954 , @Uwek ,@Alexander74 , @Jimsky, @Ptèr, @Tobias etc…HELP please.
I don’t know what I can source here (not importing way too expensive) so your advice and options here is appreciated.
Cheers Grant
Not so sure about that Johan…..Arlene been trying for years.
Good afternoon Mark. Agreed however need to pass matric first. Going to give these sails a go. If they look kak, I will just have no sails. Cheers GrantGrant, it's like matriculating from high school ... you only have to do it once
Good afternoon Dave. Thanks. I will check these out. Appreciate your help. I need an alternative to the fine lawn etc the other guys use as I’m not going to spend a fortune importing to SA so need to source locally. Cheers Grant
