The sail material was from Hang-em-High Online. Nylon 200 Denier banner White - one yard $5.45,   poly sail thread 1 oz. $2.75, and seam stick double sided tape- clear $ 3.95.  Water proof tape bandage tape in first aid kit- priceless.

The first 3 pictures are the same pic of the sails I made. I was just playing with photoshop trying to show more detail.  

MVC-039F.JPG (52331 bytes) As you can see I used an old sewing machine from the 50's or early 60's. Can't believe how the sails turned out, I never sewed before. And didn't have any instructions.

And here is a new look for my tallship.

I'm very proud on how the sails turned out, as well as these pictures.

It's starting to look complete. It's not finished yet. It's really coming together. Since these pictures, I have completely attached the sails and now I'm awaiting the radio equipment to arrive.
