Lug rig sail for a Nutshell Pram in Red Dacron.

 

This is a custom boat made in Port Townsend Washington. The main has a special rig called a Gunter Rig, very traditional. The are both lashed on the spars in a traditional manner.

First picture shows the eye and how the brass ring is stitched around the eye, next showing the finished covered brass eye ready for the thimble that is pressed inside the brass ring. This is a technique that goes back many years before the use of stainless pressed eyes for sails. It is an old traditional technique that is still requested by some for traditional and classic sails.
