New sail

The new sail all sewn together.
The gov did a fine job struggling with this heavier weight sailcloth - it was like a board, wouldn't bend or twist and needed a lot of skill and effort to get it to behave.
All the panels are sewn together, the tabling stitched into the corners to reinforce the stress points and tape sewn all round the edge to stiffen it up and prevent fraying.
Just the seizing of the bolt rope, fitting a cringle to the clew and threading the leech line and it's ready to go. Hopefully get a trial next week at Rutland.
