Rigging?!?

What! I'm finished and no wind? What is the world coming to?

Now to the serious stuff. I've built(!) a Bolger Nymph and the plan
calls for the sail to be tied directly to the mast. My 6 year old
would probably tied prettier knots than I have. Anybody have any
suggestions or online knot tying info? Also, should the sail lay
tight up against the mast or should there be some slack.

Had to tie it on just to see how it looked.

Thanks,
