From TRASH to TREASURE: Creating Sails from Recycled Plastic
We are down at Kemp Sails in Dorset, and we are trying our hand at the sewing machine this week. And even better, we are using a pretty revolutionary material, which is made from recycled plastics. Is this the future of sail cloth? This wouldn't have been possible without: Kemp Sails - https://kempsails.com Dimension Polyant - https://www.dimension-polyant.com/?lang=en ????????

Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn't have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane. However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on. We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit *Timestamps* 00:00 Intro 01:34 The Design Process 03:48 Cutting the Material 04:36 What is this material? 05:45 Sticking (not seaming, yet) 07:17 Zach, you're up! 09:17 Head, Tack and Clew Patches 10:34 The finishing touches 16:29 Teulu's Newest Sail 19:10 Next time on TT #sailing #boatlife
