Homemade sails and rig on my 80s OldTOwn "Disco 69".

Main and mizzen balanced lug sails, retractable rudder and lee-board. All recycled wood and sail-cloth.

Some pictures of the sail construction and few odds and ends here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZQSMNDw5sBeb6A748.

All home designed and constructed with lots of help from these 2 books:

* "Canoe Rig: The Essence and the Art : Sailpower for Antique and Traditional Canoes" By Todd Bradshaw (https://books.google.ca/books/about/Canoe_Rig.html?id=uCPiIQAACAAJ)

and

* "The Sailmaker's Apprentice" By Emiliano Marino (https://www.google.ca/books/edition/The_Sailmaker_s_Apprentice/qc93PwAACAAJ?hl=en)
