After watching, I think im going to revisit my sails on the Junk, your video gave me some great ideas, im realizing there's a lot to learn,your sails look fantastic, thanks so much for sharing 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
After watching your build with keen interest i knew you wouldn't have pearly white sails, but you did everything to those sails but going outside and beating them over a rock! Your model is going to look amazing and rather unique as i always suspected it would. I got a Viking ship model that has a big sail and you have given me a good idea for its look. Thanks and keep up the great work.
In reality a sail would not last so long to get this weathered. Sails were constantly lost or destroyed by storms and renewed from the large quantity of sailcloth carried in the ship's stores. It is more realistic to leave the sails white or to just dirty the lower edges. I used to stain but eventually found that a cleaner sail was much more aesthetically pleasing in addition to the question of accuracy. In either case age and sunlight will affect the colour. George Bandurek has an excellent tutorial on MSW regarding sails and scale, an alternative to sewing (which is impossible to scale no matter how fine the stitching)
@@ModelShips European navies used unbleached linen canvas, slightly cream. Americans used cotton based which were much whiter. Either would show as blinding white in strong sunlight.

True to some extent, but sails were not really white to begin with
