I have started to build a sailing rig for the Mohawk

Where do I find 'easy price' rip stop nylon?

Abercan....

Near Mostyn, North Wales.

Hi ,
Thats "Abakhan fabrics" if you want to find the web site ,
There,s also some dacron sail cloth,and ripstop nylon on eBay
Let us know how you get on ,
I,m also just about to start making a sail ,
I would be glad of any tips,hints etc
Regards Noel

first stop for me would be
does anyone i know have an old tent i can use
or know someone with one. with the price of cheap tents these days some folkd dont even bother to pack their tents up after a holiday
there must be campsites that throw away cheap tents left on a regular basis

Thanks guys using an old fly sheet, well not that old. I just hope my daughter goes camping when it is sunny only

Fly sheet off the menu

Just ordered 2 metres x 1.37 metres of Ripstop nylon in blue for £9.32 including delivery
PayPal payment allowed
Michael Abakhan Ltd web site

Same price as messing about on Ebay

Been giving the sail some thought whilst on hols,also having whats left of my Quechua tarp so will start with the MK III version soon, hopefully ready for the broads adventure, Andy.

P.S. Hope y'all enjoyed your Jollies....

Ditched the tarp idea, just been out to the garage and found something that fits the bill perfectly tuck in behind me Sean , i'll show you where to crash

It's here
The brightest dayglow green I have ever seen.
I might not be fast but I'll look good.
Speed won't be a problem coz with this colour most of you won't want to be seen anywhere near me.

Rig built after......well too long and now I cannot find that damned material
any one got some they don't need?

Hi Jammy

Sorry I can't help with the material but there is plenty on e-bay, prices seem reasonable too.

eh up Jambo
i used a cut down wind surfer sail,
you can get them free from sailing clubs,
they replace them once a year and just throw the old ones away

Eh Up Beefy

Thanks for the advise. We must catch up sometime it's been a while to say the least


Frank, thanks for that, appreciated
