Mine's Bigger

Boats and sails here on Lake Champlain are getting bigger each year, and we've been making some investments in the loft to make it easier to work on these bigger sails.  Our latest addition is a new long arm Durkopp Adler 366-77-12-HM sewing machine.  It will allow us to work on larger, heavier sails.  It uses 220 power, and requires compressed air to operate the pneumatic presser foot.  Here are some photos:
