    Thank you all! Not showing how to make a junk sails but instructive anyway, as I never used a sewing machine.

    This is a video of Jeckells making a genoa for Dylan Winter.  He writes about the process on his Blog.

    The videos from Sailrite are good in telling how to deal with the high stress in the corners of Bermuda sails. However, the stress in the corners of a junk sail is just a fraction of that, so actually those videos shows how not to do it when making a junksail.

    As long as the junksails are given a stout boltrope (rope or webbing), they seem to hold together well.

    Cheers, Arne

    Hi all,

    As an addition to Arne's chapter 5 "Making the sail", which is excellent, does anyone know of any online video clip which could help me making the sail? (sewing critical parts, camber etc.)

    Thanks in advance.
