Sailmaking made Interesting
What a valuable book this is for anyone interested in sailing and sails. It is very informative, clear and readable. From the design of sails and how they were devised using for example how the shape of birds' wings make them fly to all the materials and methods used for top class sail making. How the early apprentices learned their trade by making their own bag using all the basic techniques of sailmaking and repair and going on to choose materials and design your own sails. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in nauticalia.

The 'standard' text for construction techniques.
This is 'the' standard text for the aspiring sail maker. I use this as a reference for construction techniques and free online software for the actual panel design. The results have pleasantly surprised me - and it's fun and most satisfying too.
