This paper presents a new class of solutions for steady nonlinear capillary waves on a curved sheet of fluid in the plane. The solutions are exact in that the free surfaces of the sheet and the associated flow field can be found in closed form. The solutions are generalizations of the classic solutions for finite amplitude waves on fluid sheets [5] to the case where the fluid sheets are curved.
