Mohammed and the Mountain

If the sail can not get to the machine, we take the machine to the sail.




And when it starts raining we take a coat over the machine.

Learning by doing

Not everything is a success.
What we learned was that we are really good at repairing, but making a new from scratch is a different story. It takes us to long, especially when the boat is 15 minutes away.



Darts do not work out the same way in real world as they do on the table.

We can somethings, new tramp for our SuperCat

2013-10-12

I finished the making of a new Tramp for our SC17.

On our last trip to NL we bought an Adler which could sew through thick and tough materials. Now I had the chance to try the machine and finish the tramp.

Multi Center Syd got my name from a friend of ours. Sabine informed her colleagues that there is a sail-maker on Møn. Would they be willing to collaborate and support, coach the work on making this huge wintercover. Of course, anything goes at StaySail.

In an annex in Toreby a sail-makers loft was improvised. They have a nice industry sewing machine but all the loose tables are not making things easier.

Repairing Sails.

2012-06-01
After some strong winds we are almost reserving time for repairing sails. Genoa's are the most common with tears in the vicinity of the leech(achterlijk). Specially when the uv-protection is worn, tears in the Dacron will arise in heavy weather. Flapping of the sail under clearing away will start tears on the leech where it has had contact with spreaders and stays.
We almost always provide repairs overnight or even on the same day.




With Mortimer as supervisor all sails are repaired perfectly.
