I should have waited to patch spinnaker #2. Instead of patching it with discolored material from spinnaker #1, I could have used the pristine material from the panel I removed from spinnaker #2 when I re-sized it. Aw well, live and learn. I will not re-do those patches. This is a pool shade cover, not a spinnaker for a boat!
Here's a picture from the dry fit of Spinnaker #2:
The ropes are there to prevent the spinnaker from bowing down to touch our heads. When there's a breeze, the spinnaker puffs up and down, it's fun to watch. It also makes a great sound! As you can see, this is just not tight enough along the edges. The removal of the panel and the re-do of the clews should do the trick!
Here are the clews cut out of the panel:
And here are the clews glued to the re-sized spinnaker.
Now I need to sew them and re-do the leather chafing.
