Learn the history of sail types, their cloths, camber and depth as this course investigates the traditions and techniques of sail making. The subject of this course is two “gaff-rigged” (square) sails and one “hank on jib” (three-sided) as the class sews sails for a 47’ San Juan Islands Sharpie Schooner. You'll gain practical hands-on experience with sewing machines, sail material and techniques required to get started on your own sail making project.
