Sailrite sewing

Like a lot of the country we are in the middle of a heat wave.  Fortunately we still have power.  I hope the east coast gets back on line soon.  The plus for us is it is getting us to accomplish some inside tasks that have been put off.  The best item is tackling the Sailrite kit.
The sail we are sewing is for the sailing canoe.  It is a 16 foot woodstrip / epoxy boat with ikos and an outrigger.  We designed and built the boat as well as it's birdmouth wooden mast.  The rig is designed to fly a Footloose sail.  This is a sprit sail designed for the Footloose skiff.  It is an existing kit carried by Sailrite and it was the square footage we were looking for.

Sailtire is a great company.  The kits are well though out, include everything and the instructions are well written.

Today we should finish the sail.  In all, it will have taken about 6 hours to complete.  Here are some photos.  We will post more images when we raise the sail.
