: Hi Bill,

: Thanks for the offer! The plans come with some nice detail on how to cut and
: sew the sail, etc. but getting the "stuff" to put it together
: and prices can be on the high side over here. I will likely be asking for
: some leads on where to get a sail made or where the material can be
: purchased. I'm tending to believe it might be better to send the cloth
: pattern to a sail maker. I'm sure all the other bits can be built or
: purchased locally. I already have the mast, can easily make the curved
: boom and buy the pulleys and other fittings.

: Getting excited this morning, the canoe is on the truck and we are headed out
: for a week of fishing and messing around at a beach house up north. Lots
: of kayaks, fishing skiffs and a couple surfboards. Hope the fish
: co-operate.

: Now that I know how to post a link, I'll take some shots and share them when
: we get back.

: Mahalo,

Hi Ted,

First, do a web search for Sailrite
