## Description

Learn how to design, make, repair, improve, and maintain sails If you want to produce sturdy sails for daysailing and cruising, built of low-tech materials you can repair with a few simple tools, The Sailmaker's Apprentice can show you how. Emphasizing the handwork that distinguishes the highest-quality, most durable sails, sail pro Emiliano Marino tells you how to select a rig, introduces you to sail shape and theory, and then shows you -- step by step, with the help of over 700 detailed illustrations -- how to sew patches, hand sew rings, fix tears or frayed edges, and stitch seams, not to mention how to make your own sails, canvas sailcovers, and sailbags from scratch. A visual feast for the sailor as well as an indispensable guide for the mariner comprehensive apprenticeship, this hands-on reference is an illustrated tour of the world's rig and sail types, contemporary and historical.

Review: An outstanding book for a sailmaker. - This book is well written and illustrated. Very interesting to read and learn the skills of a sailor. I would recommend this book.
Review: Excellent - Expert or what!?! This was absolutely excellent in every way. Great to have as a reference and well beyond my expectations. The author is a guru and dove deep into every area of the subject. I really enjoyed this book. It’s well written and very immersive, instructive and relevant to someone wanting to learn, to maintain, built or further their sail and canvas work. I didn’t expect to geek out so much over sewing, but this got me there.
