Material and Manufacture
The sails are made from fine 100% cotton batiste with a fabric weight of 125 g/m². The fabric has been prewashed to reduce the risk of later shrinkage.
Each sail is sewn on a CNC-controlled sewing machine. The shape, arrangement and reinforcement details are based on historical plans of Cutty Sark.
Historically Based Sail Details
- The upper hem of each sail is wider than the hems along the sides and lower edge, following traditional sailmaking practice.
- Additional reinforcement is provided at the sail corners and at the attachment points for the buntlines used when handling and furling the sails.
- Reinforcing reef bands are sewn into the appropriate areas where the reefing points and reefing lines were fitted.
