Mylar sail material
OK. I have built a Footy from the Victor kit. I would like to make a set of very light sails from mylar (or any other light weight material). What is a good source for a small quantity?
Thanks, Dick |

Believe it or not, Mylar used for gift baskets etc make good light weight sails for boats like the footy... You can buy it at most stationary / art supply stores for in various colors about $3/roll...

Also used by florists. They will probably give you enough - especially if you buy a bribe for the missus!

Thanks, guys. I know somebody that has no problem getting "brownie points" to do things he likes to do.
