Thanks Steve

Could the Sailmakers out there please help me.
I need the definition of the sail terms:

Primary reinforcement
Secondary reinforcement
Flutter Patches
Tabling Width
Cringle

Any help in explaining these in laymans terms would be great
Thanks

Thanks guys, ive learnt a lot already.
Its great to be able to ask so many experienced people.

For the record i am using Lime, simply because my local Model shop had a plentiful supply of the stuff! and being new to this game i didnt trust the strength of Balsa. I Know differently now.

Hi
I love silly questions!
This is the first model boat of any description ive made.
Im following the method in Chris Jackson's book - Radio Controlled Racing Sailboats, so this is the only method i know!
Im using Lime by the way.

Ive just epoxied and glass clothed my timber hull and was wondering what type of paint to use for the finising touches? Would a final coat of epoxy resin over the paint be good?
Thanks for any advice
Paul
