Hi, thanks for your comment. This is the link to the summary lesson of the course: navalapp.com/courses/sailmaking/lessons/wrap-up-sailmaking/
It gives an overview of the different topics discussed in the course.
Additionally, when taking the course, you will have to work on a final assignment where you have to do a schematic drawing of a sail with as many details as possible as you have learned during the course. The drawing can be made using software or on graph paper. In both cases, it is important to use appropriate proportions of the sail and detailed dimensions as well as provide a general description of the sail, the boat, the rig, sail attachments, intended use, and provide a list of details included (panels, materials, corners and reef webbs, patches, battens, etc.)
