STAGES OF PRODUCTION
Plotting
A plotting machine inscribes
the pre-programmed panel (sections of the sails) design
of each sail onto bolts of fabric. The plotter also
makes notations that makes it easier to assemble the
panels when they are cut out. The panels and patches
(generally circular bits of fabric used to reinforce the
panels at stress points) are all cut to size and then
moved on to the next stage of production; assembly.more

Assembly
Using the referenced
numbers inscribed by the plotter, the individual panels
are then stuck together with double-sided tape. The
reference numbers indicate the order and positioning of
each panel and patch relative to one another. Once the
sail is assembled, it is moved on to the next stage;
sewing.more
info
Sewing
All the panels are sewn
together using highly specialized sewing machines that
can handle both the delicate stitching needed to piece
together light spinnaker fabric as well as layers of
heavy fabric for the storm sails.more
