Da Let’s (Wharram Pahi al meu 31) a fost subpânzat în aer lejer. Planurile arătau un mare plutitor. Am decis să fac unul din polytarp. Așa am făcut-o. Drifter-ul meu are aproximativ 22m^2, puțin mai mic decât cei 24m^2 din plan, dar era cel mai mare pe care l-am putut încăpea pe podea. Experiența anterioară în fabricarea velelor a fost realizarea unor mici vele latine proa oceanice (aka, crabclaws) și, desigur, repararea pânzei. Aceasta a fost prima mea încercare de a face o velă mare! Sunt surprins cât de bine a funcționat! desigur, sunt mai mult decât interesat de orice sugestii pe care le aveți pentru îmbunătățirea velei. L-am folosit destul de regulat. Voi face un alt videoclip când îl voi avea de câteva ori pentru a vedea cum a mers.

Great video thanks!!
Dominic, you've done it again! Question – What duty tarp did you use? Light, heavy etc?
Blue tarp is the anarchist flag
Great work, that’s what sailing is all about. I think most sailing have been corrupted by the racing/rich.
Make some wind vanes that that goes directly on your rudder like the channel luckyfish and your are set.
Also, pick up a small outboard, it could save your boat and your life, we won’t judge you.
Nothing says I make my own stuff like blue tarpoline.
Wow! I wouldn't have thought this type of tarp could handle the stress. For reference similar blue tarps from Home Depot have lasted about one year for me in full California sun so I guess that's quite a few hours of sailing.
You can make the drifter sail out of the same cloth as your spinnaker. It's obviously more expensive than a polytarp but definitely better suited for the job.
This is pretty genius. I helped a friend of mine make a similar sail from Tyvek house wrap. It did very well. He acquired a little sailboat, I think it was about 17'-18' and he had only one old tattered sail that came with it, so we made some from Tyvek. I think it cost him about the same amount, about $100.
I used to be able to buy these middle weight white tarps at the local flee market, a lot of boaters used them because they were white. But they would make an excellent light air sail, just a little heavier than the blue tarp, with a coating on them.
Nice work.
Try just raising the tack to tighten it up.
I've really been enjoying your video's.and have watched most of them
I really enjoy your resourcefulness
I make my proa sails from Tarp as well. Smart lowtech solutions are really satisfying
Definitely keep them coming Dominic… Wharram's are all about affordability and ingenuity! Great to watch a 'boat' channel quite firmly situated in pragmatic reality! Thanks mate… always appreciated!
I notice no dagger boards in the dagger board slots. Have you done away with them. That is what I did on my Pahi 31. I didn’t notice a lot of difference, but again I was never looking for that extra tenth of a knot or that extra degree to windward.
The Polytarp sail I made for my canoe is still going strong after many years. Like you say- keep it out of the Sun when not in use.
👍!!!Awesome
Nice! looks sturdy with all the extra reinforced areas. I have been making the Tarp n Tape sails for a while and like you said stow it away and you can use them for years! also there is the aspect of using the older tarp sail as a pattern or experimenting with shape before investing in a more durable fabric. I need to get a sewing machine.
Nice one,
Nice mate!
