It's been really interesting to play with & see how it responds. I think it needs some controls somehow on the three points of contact for tension.
@sunflower_avenue I *love* non-water vehicles using sails! brings me much joy 💜
@tty depends if they're dacron or canvas I think
@neauoire which is the stretchy vs non-stretchy one?
@tty that.. is a good question 🤔
@tty dacron is more strechy as it turns out!
@tty Yeeesssssss!
Updated the microsail to have jam cleats, using a split in the wood (thanks @rek). Now it's able to be much tighter.
I've realized that the sail is actually too big for the mast & boom! I cut the fabric to match those dimensions, but to get a really tight-trimmed sail, I think the sail needs to actually be *smaller* than the triangle of space here, so that it can have room when it needs to be stretched.
