I was down by the docks in Roskilde, as is my habit.

"I've heard tell my Lord, that there's good money to be made down at the docks, doing favours for sailors."

Did you get many takers?

I was down by the docks in Roskilde, as is my habit, and I noticed a lady on a large square sail that was laid out on the dockside. So I went to investigate. It appeared she was busily measuring various parameters.

Apparently it was part of a long term research project into shrinkage of sails as used by Vikings.

You'd have thought they'd have done that kind of thing a long long time ago, but apparently not.

The sails keep splitting.

Time to switch to a modern material.
