Step 7: Sailmaking

For simplicity we decided to go with a shunting staysail rig, however there are many other optionsoptions for a shunting craft.

Basically I bought a cheap tarp and cut in some slightly rounded edges to give it some camber. I folded these edges over and taped them with low quality duct tape to create a sleeve for the luff/leech wires to run in.
I had some stainless steel wire around which I used to make the mast stays and the luff/leech wires.
