Sail lofting

At a quarter size because the gov wasn’t very keen when I suggested putting nails through the lounge carpet into the wooden floor to loft it at full size.
This is to make a smaller single hander mainsail. Somehow the boat designer’s sail dimensions ended up with a sail nearly 25% larger in area than the design called for. Consequently the boat is very quick in light winds but can be scary in a gust and I’d not like to be sailing her on my own in those conditions.
