The Ketch "Angelique" -- The first two sets of sails we made for this 95' OD steel ketch were out of specially dyed and treated #4 Cotton Canvas.  The current set is 16 oz. "Clipper" cloth, a polyester fabric designed to have a canvas look and feel.  It's available in a "tanbark" color. 

The traditional color was the result of fisherman, particularly in Europe, treating their sails with the same solutions of preservative as used on their nets.  Among a wide variety of ingredients, oak bark rich in tannic acid was early on part of the mix.  Thus the term "Tanbark."  Today, conventional style polyester sailcloth is finished in a tanbark color, and also in shades of cream to represent the look of cotton sailcloth.

Skate sailing has a growing number of followers in our area.  Depending on the season, there are usually several windows of opportunity to take advantage of smooth ice.
