Hello Scarecrow,

was there a major price difference between radial and string?
What will the sailmaker actually do with his hands when building a sail like this? Design and fiber layout and perhaps finishing with batten pockets and fittings, edge tape etc?
Is there now one big manufacturer building string sails at a large facility or is this also done in the workshop of local sailmakers?


I had no idea that string sails now are becoming accessible by catsailors with normal budgets.

For me the big thing about crosscut and modern laminates is that I can quite easily assemble sail myself.
