A sailmaker from Quantum visits Wisdom and teaches everyone The Weakness of Tankbark Sails. The dying process reduces the longevity of the sailcloth, so while tanbark sails have many advantages, this is one major disadvantage to the color. He also teaches everyone how to evaluate the condition of your own sails, along with the importance of resin in the sailcloth.
