The making of one design sails
The making of one design sails
Found this little video on YouTube.
I hope you find it an insight of what goes into the manufacture of your sail.
Click here: The Making of one design sails
One-design is a form of racing where all boats are virtually identical or similar in design.
Class-legal boats race each other without any handicap calculations, start at the same time, and the winner is the first to cross the finish line.
There are more than 150 actively raced one-design classes in the UK. The classes range from eight-foot Optimist dinghies to the 12 Meter sailboats and beyond.
One-design classes are broken down into fleets that are located at yacht clubs and community sailing programs. Club or fleet racing takes place on a regular basis all over the country, and many fleets welcome newcomers. Contact your local yacht club or community program to get involved in one-design sailing and ask for the name of the fleet captain(s).
I am the fleet slow fleet captains at Ripon Sailing club in North Yorkshire.

How a sewing machine works
Walking foot sewing machine as used by OUTDOOR SEWING SOLUTIONS
A needle shoves thread up and down, and somehow a seam is formed.
Here’s a little YouTube video of this:
What is that thread latching to? How, if the needle just bobs up and down, does the thread lock in place?
A great GIF reveals what is going on inside the machine as the needle does its little dance:
CLICK ON IMAGE TO MAKE IT WORK
Beneath the needle (as the GIF shows at a very slowed down speed) a hook rotates, capturing the thread from above and looping it around another thread, this one reeling from the bobbin below. The two threads interlock around the layers of fabric, binding them to one another.
So it’s not magic; it’s mechanics. And to me, that’s even neater.

A load of rubbish I come up with from time to time
Commercial and Industrial Sewing Contractor
When starting my new venture I knew that being a sailmaking in landlocked North of England was not a great business plan.
With a little market research it came apparent although there is a little cover manufacturing in the North of England, there was no service support for many outdoor sewn products. Bell tents to swimming pool cover repairs were amongst the first project I found along with structural design constancy and prototyping services were required for small to Multinational companies.
Solutions were required for new products and servicing of existing products.
Outdoor Sewing Solutions are currently undertaking work for companies from a wide spectrum of industry sectors mostly involved in the leisure activity sectors such as Caravan accessories, Caravan awning manufactures, Climbing walls manufactures, Marine servicing, Boat building and more including The Institute for Outdoor Learning.
CONCEPT TO CONSUMER:
project management: concept consultancy, design, fabric textile specification, prototyping, knife and laser cutting, product fabrication.

CELEBRATING ONE YEAR ON IN HARROGATE
OUTDOOR SEWING SOLUTIONS – CELEBRATING ONE YEAR ON IN HARROGATE
Outdoor sewing solutions, which is owned and managed by Martin Miller is based in The Harcourt Road Warehouse – Harrogate. This October they are celebrating reaching the end of their first year in business.
Established by Martin Miller in 2014, Outdoor Sewing Solutions is one of the leading contract sewing providers in the area and manages clients from a wide range of sectors including caravan and camping, extreme and water sport and bespoke sail making.
Martin grew up in New Zealand where sailing was his number one passion. This led to an early career in sail making and saddlery [leatherworks], which catapulted him into Team New Zealand [sailing] during which time he participated in several America’s Cup campaigns around the world, amongst others.
When Martin left the sail making industry behind, he moved into packaging and high tech labelling solutions, going on to represent some of Europe’s largest multinational companies.
Martin’s loves of caravanning with his family starting him back on the sewing path. “I used to repair tents and awnings and it quickly spiralled from there. I invested in industrial sewing machinery and leased a unit on The Harcourt Road, everything else fell into place for me and I am thrilled to be celebrating one year in business this October”.
As part of the celebration, Martin has commissioned a new website and online store for the wide range of products he supplies. “Deciding on the next step in my business development was easy. The internet has changed retail forever, so to stay competitive and generate new orders, I decided I needed to up my on line presence”.
“I am extremely excited to be expanding and developing my business in Harrogate and am looking forward to the future” – Martin Miller.
