Sailmaking

Before I use to work as a sail maker and I therefore choose to do my own sails. Lasse from Ullman sails helps me in the new facilities of GP covers/ Ullman sails DK



This will be a fullbatten jib. I think we will use this on the 18 foot skiff as well, for our new sails. Purpuse is than when easing off, the sail still got a nice shape instead of bending to a round form. The sailcloth is MAXX cloth from Contender. Very nice product, that make it possible to create a crosscut sail but with treads going the right directions like a triradial sail does.


Lasse sewing pockets in the jib.



While Lasse is sewing battens etc. I assemble all the corners for the main sail.


Before we left I took a shoot of both the main and jib on top of another.

Hi. Which MAXX cloth did you use, as I believe there are three different kinds.

Thanks

Hej Martin,
jeg er på udkig efter en der kan lave et storsejl til mit Trailertri 680 (med en rig fra TT 720) er det noget du kan hjælpe med?
