Thank you all for your likes and comments.
Now follows the third of 6 sails, the foremast topsail. The main sail will follow next. I'll keep at it.

A nice sail, Adi. I am impressed by the special way of asymmetric rigging.
Regards, Peter

Looking very good
I am only wondering why the upper sail is on the different side of the mast ?

You're probably right, the CAF and Boudriot drawings are somewhat misleading. But... I'll bring the upper yard forward, then both will be the same.

Now I have looked at the CAF construction plan again and for whatever reason I have found exactly this constellation, perhaps there must be a reason for this.

 

[dockattner]

These sails have a nice authentic look to them. Bravo Adi!

Diese Segeln gefallen mir Adi! Although I like them, I’m tired of making them on my Constitution. Keep at it, my friend.

Adi, first of all, fantastic work on your sails. From what I see, the lower sail is mounted on the wrong side of the mast. Here are a couple of examples.

Many thanks dear friends, especially Tobias and Uwe for the tip. It was somehow immediately clear that something was wrong here. It was also immediately obvious that the upper sail should not be forward, but the lower one aft. Small panic outbreak, can this be managed without too much effort?
(Grübel, grübel und studier)..... Yes it can. And now for a cold beer... the result.

viel besser - macht irgendwie mehr Sinn
Great appearance with the sails

Many thanks for all likes and comments.
The squirrel feeds on hard work ( a German proverb) and so the main sail of my Coureur is finally growing. I don't want to withhold this from you.

With waterproof wood glue, this works quite well and the sail still remains flexible.

 

[Uwek]

very good work my friend

Dear Adi
great looking sails, well done my friend

 

[Tobias]

Hello Adi, it's nice to see that things are progressing bit by bit. Another very nice sail, great work.

Thanks, Piano! You're doing a fine job. I did hardly see any better achivement on sailmaking so far. Does that glue turn into any yellowish shade?
