Any advice on how to trim a set of dacron sails? I have a new set thatare slightly over size and I need to trim them to fit.
Any advice will be  welcome.

The Dacron sail material that I have used can be cut with scissors. This leaves no frayed edges. I bought mine from sailsetc.com, but they no longer stock it.

Thanks for that. I was hoping that it would be that simple! The sails only need a slight trim, but its good to know that I don't need special tools to do the job.
Thanks again for your help.
