Sailmaking: The Art Of Crafting Your Own Dinghy Sail

Ever want to sew your own sail? Escape the ordinary with Boat builder, Bob Emser as he shows how to create your own dinghy sail. Making a spritsail is one of the easiest sail plans for a small boat. The spritsail is a four-sided sail that is supported at its highest points by the mast and a diagonally running spar known as the sprit. Follow along as Bob shows how to design, and sew the sail. In addition he creates the mast and spar for the spritsail plan for the dinghy "Victoria". The small 9' boat will be the tender for its mothership "Arabella" of Steve Denette's popular YouTube channel Acorn to Arabella.
