Sobre sus tanned sails comentan su propia receta

Why are the sails that colour?
To make a sail more efficient and to prolong its life they are dressed with a mixture of oil (traditionally fish oil), seawater (&/or horse urine if available!) and red ochre. The red ochre is purely a colouring agent, without which the sails would look a dirty grey colour. Sail dressing often had "secret" ingredients. Modern sail material is made in the traditional colour, and nowadays you can buy modern sail dressings readymade in large cans.
