，
I built a dinghy， and it needs a sail。 I can ask a sailmaker to make me a sail。 When I asked for a price， they quoted me about ZAR 3000。 This seemed a bit pricey， so I looked at DIY options。 This book popped up again and again in internet discussions， so I bought it。I don't think I could have learned more about sails in any other way。 Since my circle is likely to be limited to dinghy sailors， I don't think I would have met such a wide variety of sails in real life as I did in this book。 More imp I built a dinghy， and it needs a sail。 I can ask a sailmaker to make me a sail。 When I asked for a price， they quoted me about ZAR 3000。 This seemed a bit pricey， so I looked at DIY options。 This book popped up again and again in internet discussions， so I bought it。I don't think I could have learned more about sails in any other way。 Since my circle is likely to be limited to dinghy sailors， I don't think I would have met such a wide variety of sails in real life as I did in this book。 More importantly， I learned that sailmaking is not a trivial thing。 It is a major part of the purchase of a boat， and a continuous expense， so it is worth knowing how sails are made。 Because the book is written with the assumption that you will be making your own sails， it brings home the labour involved。I still might make my own sail， but I now know that it will not be simple， even if I make a Tyvek sail with sticky tape。 Which， with the aid of this book， is now possible。 。。。more
