National Sail

In the early 1990s I was living on the beautiful tropical island of Phuket in Southern Thailand (pronounced "poo-ket", fortunately). Knowing that I was between jobs (commercial fishing in Alaska, but that's a whole different story) a sailing friend of mine informed me that there was an Australian gentleman by the name of Rolly Tasker coming to the island to start a new sail loft, and he needed some English speaking help. Knowing nothing about sail making, I offered my services anyway. Rolly accepted. Thus began about 3 years of intensive, 6 day-a-week on the job training. The first hand knowledge I gained from Rolly and his staff, and the hands-on experience with the loft operations, were to become invaluable in the future.Visit:- http://nationalsail.com/
