Activities


Other Station Suggestions Sail Construction: Kids will put together two Opti sails using the cross cut and panel cut sail construction process.


Take an old 4 or 5 panel Opti sail and an old Opti cross-cut sail and number the corresponding edges so the kids can put it back together; then cut the sails along the seam.


Lay the pieces of each sail out on the ground and time the students to put together the panel sail vs. the cross-cut sail. Which takes longer? Why? In business, time is money. Most of the time panel sails are less expensive then cross-cut sails because of the time it takes to stitch the seams. Show the Reach field trip video to Ullman Sails on a TV monitor. Suggestion: Have the students watch the field trip video to Ullman Sail loft and then put the cross-cut and panel cut sails together.


This station can be modified to be completed individually or by teams of 2, 3, 4 or 5 students. You can also use different types of sails (420 or old spinnakers).
