The Douglas fir sails measure 32 ells, approximately 20 meters in length, and are fitted with wooden sails. The windmill cap is lined with zinc sheets and features a small mill – a "fan frame" that turns the sails in the direction of the wind. In ancient times, the mill cap was manually turned into the wind, and the sails were covered with canvas.
