So, Sew!
I am set to work stitching up the sail. In the end I decided on a Sprit sail rig. The 7'6" foot will keep the clew at the aft end of the cockpit and leave about 2'6" to the end of the boat to get a good sheet angle.
This will make a good Fall/winter project while I get the shop in order. A little music, coffee, and maybe a fire on the cold days. I am not in a hurry and want to enjoy the time just working on the sail.

The shop table makes a good sewing bench.

| clothes pins work great to hold the edge down. |

| A second hand wind scoop, meant to send air down a hatch, will make a nice downwind light air sail, I hope. |
