The weather is so wild and windy we have added extra sailcloth to the unbuilt walls. Having sorted through the stuff from the camper van we found two more sails, so these were tacked on. Sailcloth is much better than polythene. I hadn't realised how much polythene breaks down when exposed to sunlight - it just crumbles after about a year. I also finally brought myself to cut off the straggly bits. It seems all wrong to cut bits off sails, but they're not going to have a future on a boat, so it's better to have less flappy bits keeping us awake at night.
