Hello all
I am currently installing sails on my Amerigo Vespucci and was wondering of the best approach to shape the sails as if they were full of wind?
Recommendations are welcome
 
Here is how I did it. Start reading from this post in my build log. The sail fabric is 97% cotton and 3% spandex. If you have any questions, let me know.

Fully billowed sails look great, but few modelers make them. Usually that sails are draped flat with some of them raised using the buntlines or furled to allow better view of the deck.
