# Sail designer: draw a pixel art sail

Paint a sail for your boat in A Short Sail, one dot at a time. Copy its link into the game, or send it to a friend. It is free, with no sign-up.

## How to draw a sail

1.  **Pick a colour.** Use the colour picker, or click one of the ready colours.
2.  **Paint.** Click or drag on the sail. A bigger brush paints more dots at once. To take dots off, paint with the cloth’s colour, or press Undo.
3.  **Change the cloth.** The cloth is the colour under every dot you have not painted.
4.  **Copy the link.** Enter it into Custom sail in the game, or send it to a friend.

## Questions about the sail designer

### How do I put my sail on my boat in the game?

Press Copy link. In A Short Sail, open the Sail tab at Hazel’s loft, press Design on Custom sail, press Enter code, paste the link, and then press Equip.

### How do I get Custom sail in the game?

Hazel the sailmaker sells it at her loft, on the Sail tab. Gus must first fit your boat with a better sail.

### How many colours can a sail have?

Up to 16, with the cloth. Pick any colour you like with the colour picker, or one from the row of ready colours.

### Can I share my sail?

Yes. Press Copy link and send the link. It opens your sail here, and a friend can paste it into the game.

### Does my sail leave my computer?

No. The sail designer runs in your browser, and the link holds the whole sail. Nothing is sent anywhere.
