Mirror Dinghy Reefing - Part 3 - Trouble with the Mainsail!
Reefing Mochyn Du's mainsail is proving to be difficult. Since I took all my measurements i've found a few resources and spoken to a few people who have told me that I have measured the sail up incorrectly. Add to this I tihnk my cheap sewing machine is simply not up to the job. Despite tryingfor hours, I can't get it to sew a zig zag sticth properly and have since found a fair few people with the same issue with this model of sewing machine. So, this video shows that and how I went about deciding the correct measurements and I have decided to post this in the spirit of the channels core values; of showing all the mistakes and the process of doing things, not just the successful bits!!
