All the design work is done at you local loft on computers with sail making software. that info is then sent overseas, digitally, and the panels are cut with machines, from the info in the file the local loft sent.
The local Doyle loft made my 135% 8.3 oz. Dacron.....the local sail maker here measured, he insisted and I did not argue.....if there is a mistake, his mistake. The panels of the sail were digitally cut in the Doyle loft in Massachusetts, shipped to Halifax rolled in a tube, and the local sail maker finished the sail here. I was actually in the Doyle loft here when some of the sewing was taking place. Spreader patches are sewn on, not glued.
As far as I know, that is still the process today from Doyle here. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.
