| Sprit Sail from old jib. |
I am now in the process of deconstructing the jib in order to get the parts I need to build the new sail. I'll be doing it all by hand so it may be a while.
A Skiff Wind blows over the water-An account of my winter project to build my first wooden boat, a 13' plywood QT Skiff designed by Jim Michalak. Now that that boat has been launched and is in use, this blog will now also document all of my other boat building and general "MESSING ABOUT IN BOATS"

Making a sail
In the spirit of recycling I took an old jib I had and laid it out to see if I could use it to make the sprit sail for the skiff.
I took some cut off battens and some masking tape and laid out the measurements of the desired sprit sail and the juggle things around until I got something that seems about right.
