 * 1) Each spar, including the spreader, is 2 bamboo skewers butted together and reinforced with 0.1SL lengths of skewer.
 * 2) When cutting out the sail, include a long narrow flap to fold over each leading edge spar, to completely enclose it in a pocket.
 * 3) Reinforce the nose edge and the trailing edges of the sail by adding clear sticking tape over the outlines, then trimming back to the outlines.
 * 4) The spreader should be snipped to length, then glued in place at the tips, then bowed with flying line when dry - a Truckie's Knot works well.
 * 5) Cap the spar ends with short lengths of electrical insulation tape.
 * 6) Seal the leading edge spar pockets with long lengths of clear sticky tape.
 * 7) After cutting out the keel from sail plastic, use clear sticky tape to run a length of flying line down each edge that leads to the towing point - on each side of the keel, so that's 4 pieces of line altogether.
 * 8) Knot the keel lines together, close to the plastic, and add another knot to the 4 lines coming out at the towing point. Tie the keel to the vertical spar and also use sticky tape to attach the keel's edge to the sail
 * 9) For a start, try making a single tail about 3 times as long as the kite is high, looping it around the bamboo and through itself, near the tail of the kite.
