How To Make Lego Sail For Scooner Ship?

The text describes the process of building a pirate ship using LEGO, including building the booms, gaffs, sails, and rigging. The author explains that it is not historically accurate to have striped or colored sails on ships of this size and period, but the author wants to create a unique look. The general practice is to make the sails before rigging and installing the booms and gaffs, as it is nearly impossible to do grade hand-drawn graphics.

After building a Small Shipyard, the ship skeleton for the Schooner is needed, along with the sails, steering wheel, and brick-building the sails. This allows designers to add a skull and crossbones on the fore sail, which looks excellent from a distance. The instructions also provide sail files that can be printed and cut to fit the ship.

The author uses a library of 1:1 scans of all Lego sails from every ship, but they do not have a color printer, so they create the sails in paper and use sewing thread for the cloth sails. They want to design a build with a lot of action, so they decided to create a small sailboat surrounded by huge crashing waves.

In summary, the author discusses the process of building a pirate ship using LEGO, including the use of a small shipyard, building the sails, and adding additional rigging for each sail.
