HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 мар 2024
- How to add patches, reef points and battens. Sailmaking isn't just sewing seams, it also includes several complex parts. Boat builder Bob Emser explains all of these parts and shows some tips on constructing them.
It this part 2 of sail making for "Skylark", Bob's Haven 12 1/2, the main gaff is constructed using a precut designed from Sailrite. This sail plan will also work for a Herreshoff 12 1/2 and a Some Sound 12 1/2.

Your skill list has grown and grown with this build! Lovely work Bob.
As a former Navy Parachute Rigger for 4 years, I thoroughly enjoyed watching you in this video. It brought back many memories from over 45 years ago. I had used about all of the equipment you used in some capacity. I worked in one loft that had a very large square table with the sewing machine in the center of it, with a hinged entry to the machine. It made very large projects a lot easier and usually only requiring one person instead of two to handle the fabric, not to mention all the storage under the table! Thanks again and a very quality looking project!
I'm in awe at the wide range of skills you've shown throughout the build!
Thank You!
Now I understand why sailwrights always sit in a pit. Beautiful work, Bob!
Wise choice to start with the jib. Very nice work, as usual. Really looking forward to launch day!
Me Too!
Very nicely done, Bob. You've done a lot of hard work.
Looks great Bob, can't wait to see it in the water!
You and me both!
Mesmerizing to say the least. Slow and steady wins the race. Fantastic!
I’m late to adding a comment, but these sailmaking segments are fantastic closers to your sailmaking series.
Sails look fantastic. Very well done.
I'm a sailmaker here in England, I just wanted to say what a good job you have done!
You should look at getting yourself a good sailmakers palm, they are handy to have for repair work as well as the initial manufacturing.
You can poke your needle into some beeswax, this will help you push it through the sail. You'll probably find that you won't need to pre punch the holes, you can just push the needle through using a palm.
My tutor at Art College always said "if you are designing something ...make sure its beautiful"
Toujours parfait 👍👍 from France cordialement
not only does the video informative but it’s also well edited, enjoy watching thanks
I appreciate that!
Very impressive how STABLE sails are built. So much tension relief on the anchor points. This tech is used in automotive too. It's kinda organic.
Another beautiful job well done Bob. Great tips along the way on the sail build as well. Thanks for sharing!
As always, you've made it beautiful.
Nice work as always Mr bob.
Nicely done Bob!
Thanks Bill!
Beautiful work. The boat is going to zip right along.
We need the "Art of Boatbuilding" logo on the sails!
Working on it!
Where should it be placed?
Thanks for watching!
@@TheArtofBoatBuilding I think the most suitable placement would be the one used on pilot cutters. On the main it would be near the leech horizontally and just below the throat vertically. Personally a logo on the jib seems a bit excessive to me, but if I was to put it there, I'd place it so that the distance of it from the foot and leech would be proportional to the logo on the main.
This really shows why sails are so expensive to have made. What a great place to do that work, though!
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
Looks great Bob. I worked in a sail loft. A good way to sew those long seams is to tape them all together then start rolling it up from the head. Start a roll from the foot up to the first seam. Hold the rolls with some masking tape. After you sew that seam roll up some sail to the next seam. Like handling the Torah.
You may have missed that all of my seams were taped with basting tape. In the video I included several clips of how I managed the sail. Starting with the longest seam and moving toward the head. That way the majority of the sail as to my left. I tried taping the sail roll in earlier sails (S3-E20) and found it to be more of a nuisance that a help. Very happy that the method you describe worked for you.
Thanks you fro watching!
Cheers,
Bob
Thanks very much
Muito bom!
Bob, excellent work! this white Dacron fabric that was used, what is the specification?
It is 6.4oz White Supercruise Dacron® Sailcloth.
Thanks for watching!
Very well done. The sails look great. I don't see any boat class logo or hull number. Are those coming? Will you add a spinnaker? Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Logo may be coming. No plans for a spinnaker right now.
Thanks for watching!
What did you use to cut the holes for the grommets?
It is a fabric hole cutter. Here is a link to the set I purchased for Sailrite.

Thanks!
Im getting ready to sew a sailrite sail kit for my CLC Passage maker and, though the Sailrite videos are good, yours has some great extra detail.
did you miss 1 reefpoint? Sails look great though.
No. There are 6 points mid sail and one on the luff and one on the leach. Total of 8 points.
Thanks for watching!
