furled, it would not be too bulky. (Figure 10, top) Panel seams were penciled in every twenty inches in scale. At the sides they were angled in so the last seam was parallel with the outer edge of the sail. A quarter inch wide border was drawn all around the sail for the tabling. A double coating of thinned pH neutral white glue was painted on the tabling and an equal distance inside the sail and leſt to dry. (Figure 10, bottom)
Now the sail plus tabling could be cut out without fraying. A length of line long enough to go around the perimeter of the sail was coated with white glue and laid along the sail edge inside the tabling to represent the bolt rope. At the clews and upper corners the line was looped around for future rigging lines. (Figure 11, top) T e tabling was folded closed over the bolt rope. With an old plank bender I carefully applied heat to the overlap. T is reactivated the glue to form an instant bond. T e tabling was ironed close to the
