The site is in Dutch, but the photo’s do a better job of translating than babelfish.

We had a great thread on this subject a fw months ago - many pages long but well worth reading. Just search this forum.
Rob,
play a visit in this Forum under the tread " Sailmaking" the largest so far, where I had also presented a simple Tool to assemble the panels, http://www.rcsailing.net/forum1/showthread.php?t=1424;
or visit this French Forum where the IOM French champion is describing how is making the sails:

Good readings

yachtie2k4,
I used this book to make sail blocks and sails. Had to read a few pages over and over (the block jig) yet the sails came out good (surprized myself)… my first attempt.

Price was $18 last year, and is creeping up.
