Sailmaking & Sail Science Books
Amateur sailmaking is now quite common. These books made it so.
The Complete Guide to Sail Care & Repair
We consider "The Complete Guide to Sail Care & Repair", at least in part, an endorsement of all that Sailrite has stood for. Even though he is careful to stress that he does not recommend sail construction for amateurs, his book certainly helps lift the shroud of mystery that has surrounded professional sailmaking. And we are appreciative of his warm praise for the Ultrafeed zigzag machine that we loaned him during preparation of the book.

Offshore Cruising Encyclopedia
The title tells it all. At 1232 pages his book is not just complete — it is authoritative. The Dashews have designed and built boats as well as sailed them extensively. And they have spent years pulling everything together in this one book.

Practical Seamanship Book & CD Rom
Chock full of information that is just not available elsewhere. The Dashews have "been there and done that" and they are able to convey what they know with wit and charm. Representative chapters: watchkeeping, navigation, closing with shore, boat handling, prepartion, anchoring, storm tactics and more.

The Mainsail Manual Book
This book is for those who want to know how to build their own sails -- nothing is held back. The primary focus here is on Bermuda mains—the triangular sails that are most common on modern sailboats as mainsails and mizzen sails.

The Stormsail Manual Book
Written for those who want to understand and "do" sailmaking. Storm foresails, trysails, and Swedish mainsails are fully described and explained here. One of the most important characteristics of these sails is sturdy construction and the instructions in this manual focus upon that goal.

Jibsails Their Design & Construction
Jim Grant tells all -- all about building working jibs, traditional staysails, genoas, topsails, mule jibs, drifters and reachers. Nothing is held back with the lame excuse that sailmakiing should be left to professionals.

The Sail Repair Manual
This is a book for those who want to be self-sufficient. With the aid of this book you can repair your own sails at sea and at home. There is a full treatment of hand stitching techniques and a section on the use of a home sewing machine including proper adjustment and tips for sewing heavy sail cloth.

The Staysail Manual Book
A manual for those who want to know how to build sails. The "staysails" of concern here are the special purpose sails used on modern sloops to increase performance in light and medium air while reaching or running. They are set flying on the foredeck between the main and a headsail.

The Sailmaker's Apprentice Book
This is a good book on traditional sail design, construction, repair and improvement. It is full of techniques and tips that have hitherto been available only to those who are willing to apprentice themselves to a loft. It also covers rigs and sail types. There are some skills that can only be learned by actually doing them, but this book serves as an excellent foundation.
