Mast detail. You can see how the sail is tied to the mast, and the woven pattern.

Mast attachment detail. Not sure if this is prototypical, but it follows how the rest of the boat is assembled.

I made this model for my friend who is turning his patio into a Tiki lounge. I thought is needed some more atmosphere to go with his woodworking and waterfall.

A small hole was drilled into the booms, and the end of a toothpick added to allow the rope an anchor to tie around. All the thread was run through a block of beeswax before use.

The outrigger added.All the wood received several layers of Minwax Polyurethane with lots of sanding in between coats. Final sanding was 600 and 1000 grit paper with a final buff coat of a paper towel, which gives the wood a nice soft sheen. Not too glossy.

After it was cut out I added looped stitching along the edges so it could get tied to the masts later.

To give it a curve (these are called "crab claw" sails) I used 3M Spray Mount to affix the paper back to back. White glue caused it to wrinkle. As it was drying I wrapped it around a paper towel roll so it would retain the curve.

The real sails were woven matts, about 16" wide. I found a matt pattern on the inter webs and scaled it to my needs. Over a printed base sheet I added each row, overlapping a bit so it suggests the seams where the matts were sewn together.

The parts ready for assembly. The bottom piece of cloth was what was provided in the kit. Not very prototypical. My new sail is the triangular piece.
