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.
