Historical Sailmaking Demonstration
Sunday, July 18, 5-6pm
At the Yard in the Yard, Penobscot Marine Museum
Dayle Ward of Traditional Rigging Co. will demonstrate traditional sailmaking techniques.
Dayle first went to sea at age 17, sailing in Niagara, Pride of Baltimore II, and Spirit of Massachusetts, among others. She is one of a handful of sailmakers familiar with cotton sailcloth, and that will hand finish a sail using centuries-old techniques that stand the test of time.
