I new it was going to look nice, but my word this sail looks stunning on the San Ildefonso by ‪@Occre‬ . It reacted exactly how I wanted and furled beautifully. To achieve this I had to first install the sail into the yard and install all necessary sail tack and lines prior to installation. Then (and this is the very important part) I wet the sail to the point that it was very damp (but no drips). This softens up the fibres enabling the sail to react naturally and furl beautifully. As soon as I pull all the necessary rigging the sail furled exactly how I wanted it to and with the weathering I did on this sail yesterday it looks absolutely incredible. A MASSIVE thank you to all those that commented regarding whether or not I have sails or not. Your opinions mean a lot to me personally so thank you. Anyway, watch this space because the San Ildefonso is going to be incredible with her sails 😉👍👍👍👍👍
