    It appears that in this photo there is a ruler of sorts? Using it along with the fill size ruler, measure the following:

    Foot
    Head
    Luff
    Leach

    Send a photo of this when done.

    Ok, that's reasonable. Post a sail plan and we can get going

    Just so we are all on the same page, a KITTY SIZED THAMES SAILING BARGE, is 65 tons and carries 1,000 feet of sail. How big a vessel are you working on. . . ๐Ÿ˜ฎ?

    Hi Ricks, I also used cotton poplin, which is the most common fabric for elegant white shirts.
    If you don't like white, no problem; you can dye it or give it an antique look.

    Hi Rick

    Do you have a sail โ›ตplan for your vessel? There are a number of us here that can work you through it, like Ron says

    Are you able to get cotton poplin or a bed sheet? Possibly some fabric dye to make sail a reddish brown ?

    If so, then making your own sails is not too difficult, that is unless youโ€™re wanting something that is truly scale with all those hoops and rope stitches that a real canvas sail would have on it along with grommets.
    Just a thought
