Sailmaking
We are well into making the 2009 sails now and I am here in China to check up on new details and materials. In the photos I am in the sewing area checking the finish of the sails. With me are the women who communicate all my instructions to the people who tape and sew the panels together. It is amazing how skilled these sail makers are. I would be shamed if I had to sew as well as they do.
This is the rigging area where they check sails. Charlie who manages this department has rigged more windsurfing sails than any other person in the world. He rigs up to 50 sails a day, and I have been working with him for 14 years. That is a LOT of sails rigged. I am checking a Super Freak UL randomly pulled for a quality check.
