A sailmaker uses cloth soaked in flax, commonly called canvas to create sails. Weaving, stitching and cutting to create the required shape and form. Small sailmakers will create their own canvas for the small shallow water boats used nearby, while ship makers will purchase canvas from merchants.
A Sailmaker will have a stall, cart or store to sell their wares from and a workshop in which to produce the items. Some ship makers have on site sail makers solely dedicated to producing sails for larger ships.
