I want to paint my main sail

[hellosailor]

Any good craft store should have someone who can tell you how to get images transferred. The traditional way would be to make the outline of your image on plain brown kraft paper. Draw it, tile it from compter printouts, whatever. Then using carbon paper and a pounce wheel, transfer the outline to the sail and paint away just like a big "color by numbers" kit. Very much the same way you'd transfer a dressmaking or sewing pattern, same materials, tools.

I'd expect the paint to bond better if the sails were (oh no!) freshly washed before the painting and all started.

Here are the hand painted sails filbert is referring to:

When you do paint, post pictures!!! Are you going to do it free hand or use a stencil?
