Why? I am not a racer, they cost about 40% more than dacron, what do I get
for my money? "Poppa Pimple" wrote in message hlink.net... Very much so. Poppa "The Carrolls" wrote in message news Well are they? |

Superior light air performance. 40% amortized over the life of the sail is
zilch. Also look at resale value. Poppa "The Carrolls" wrote in message ... Why? I am not a racer, they cost about 40% more than dacron, what do I get for my money? "Poppa Pimple" wrote in message hlink.net... Very much so. Poppa "The Carrolls" wrote in message news Well are they? |

I'm not gonna sell them, I may wear them out. Light air is not a real
problem with me. "Poppa Pimple" wrote in message hlink.net... Superior light air performance. 40% amortized over the life of the sail is zilch. Also look at resale value.

Mylar's main advantage is a longer PERFORMANCE life.

Light air performance? Gimme a break with that!
I bet NONE of these wannabe sailors around here do anything in light air but crank up the motor. I've yet to see any diesel sailboat sailing at one or two knot. To the boat they use the iron jenny with a wind-up jenny flapping in the apparent breeze. Unless you race, Mylar is not worth the money and maintenance problems.

If it's a wind up jenny why is it left flapping?
