anyone tried sewing a Tyvek sail on a sewing machine? is there way way of
removing the advertizing?



Use the red "Tuc-Tape" that's used on construction sites.
Sticks to anything and will give your sails that look of the side
of an unfinished house.

Tyvek begins showing signs of deterioration in just a few weeks
of exposure to weather. It doesn't like being crunched up.

May make a cheap sail, you get what you pay for.
