ABSTRACT:
A sail having a built-in-pocket and its method of construction is disclosed. A sail having foot and luff measurements and a desired angle at the finally formed tack is formed from sail material and has a built-in-pocket at a desired location. In forming the sail, the luff is pivoted forwardly on sail material about its upper edge to a sail forming position and the foot is pivoted downwardly on sail material about its rearward edge to a sail forming position; the amount that the bottom edge of the luff is moved forwardly determines the depth of the pocket; a first edge is formed between the moved end of the luff and a desired point providing the location of the center of the pocket; a second edge, equal to the first edge, is formed between the moved end of the foot and the desired point, the mating edges are fixed together, such as by sewing.
