Got to be too much of a good thing and tried to outsource but couldn't find anyone to keep the quality so quit .There are places to get sails , Carr sails come to mind .I used Bainbridge sail cloth but I think a mylar type material is the current choice . It is a spinnaker " cloth " mostly on full size .Surfing the net should show up some info on availability or know how . Best of luck , learning is fun .
thanks for the info, you sound like you were real good at making them. Will look around web. Into a mini cold snap so have the time.
