canvas sail.

[Thad Van Gilder]

so my canvass sail should be done for my 10 foot dory tender shortly. How do I take care of it? I have never owned a new canvas sail before...

Thad, I have a neat old booklet by Ratsey & Lapthorn (who ought to know a thing or two about canvas sails) titled The Care and Handling of Sails, dating from 1949. As I believe I owe you a favour, e-mail me with a snail-mail address & I'll photocopy all 17 pages and mail it to you.

Thank you.
I sent you my address.
