They look clear to me! I just might use your instructions to make one.

speer hammocks has 1.1oz Sil for $4.50/yd.

I have also made an excel macro that calculates the sides of your regular polygon. It also calculates a catenary cut for those sides (I made it for BBs BlackCat).

This is from Brian of OES and McCat fame. I think you guys found a post from 2003 when the guy was getting started, Pretty cool to see how his McCat idea started.
