Tom,
Drawing of typical seam shown in cross-section 4mm wide seam.
Are you sewing through the tape after or not sewing at all? Does the tape hold by itself without sewing the seam? I am using tape in between each layer of the seam.
4 layers of cloth
3 layers of tape

Hi TOMARACK!
You mean like this stuff? Available in 4mm, 5mm, 8mm, and 10mm, in my model sail loft. Seams are interlocked together so that no seam loose edges are showing on either side. Three strips of double-backed tape per seam. I have 8 sails to deal with, 63 panels, and 55 seams plus hems. I am about two-thirds the way through seaming. The draft for these sails is SUPPOSED to be 20% at 40% chord depth. So far I am close. The foresail was thrown out and is in re-do. ALIGNMENT!! The current teaching sailcloth is simply polyester cotton left overs. When i pass SAILMAKING 1 I will move up to 36 gram RIPSTOP. The seams are 4mm overlap then folded to hide the edges, and taped again. Is this tape 3M sufficiently strong enough adhesive to operate without oversewing?

Graham:
On mine I pressed the pins in with slightly modified pliers, ( a groove cut in to jaw to accept the pin) and then pulled them snug from the inside

Scaling up or down can be cruel, or maybe that was the sea.

Could we all submit our choice of question to a quizmaster for editing and posting? This group could re-write two thirds of current questions so that they are correct. Added bonus is it could end up having a more international flavour. Yes occasionally you will be faced with your own question

Doug,
I'm not worthy to hold Graham's saw blades, but I am learning from here. Is one going to have to submit a masterpiece for adjudication to be allowed admission to the Guild?
If wood be the food of boats, plank on!

I ran into the same issue with scaling up drawing, mostly with the framing. They don't seem to match up.
Did you soak/steam the planks?
I used heavy straight pins with glue to glue & 'nail' the planks, instead of clamping the plank in place. I watched a video on the rebuilding of BLUENOSE II. They had as much trouble fitting planks as the rest of us☹️ It looks good, are you pleased with the results?
