Thanks Jerry, but I'm really hoping to either buy the sails that came
with the kit, or preferably to get the patterns and make my own. By
the way, re: our previous discussion on bullseye vs. cross-test
levels on a keel klamper, I concede that the cross test is superior
for that purpose, as it allows one to keep the model 'level' on an
east-west axis while tipping the north-south axis to make some
particular part of the model, such as the deck, level. This is
advantageous because many boats/ships decks are not parallel to their
keels. So where does one find an reasonably priced cross-test level?

Thanks, George Shaeffer
