Sails - billowing

[Stjoedreamer]

Hi all, looking for a fool proof way to “fill my sails” with wind. All help and advice is appreciated!
Thanks, Paula

There are a few videos on you tube that address this issue. Here is one video from Olha Batchvarov

Other people have used starch or dilute PVA and shaped a sail around forms.

I tried powdered starch but no matter how much I added to water I could not get it to hold its shape. I have watched Olha’s videos but I don’t think I added enough glue to hold enough shape. I’m still trying’ thank you!

I have watched a number of videos from Olha Batchvarov. She is truly a master artisan, from making rope, breeching, sails, etc.
Very enjoyable to watch!
