   Cut your cloth into an 18 x 9 rectangle. Then cut the rectangle diagonally to make two equal triangles. Cut enough 1 inch strips to go all the way around the perimeter of the sail. Glue one triangle on top of the other, apply glue all the way around the edge. On one side of the triangle, glue a strip on an edge so that the cloth does not hang over the edge but is flush with it. Do this to all 3 sides. Now curl the strip around the edge and glue it on the other side. Finish all three sides. Make sure that it created a tube, you will need it for the rigging. Trim all the corners to expose the openings of the tubes.
   The finished sail is the final picture.
