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.

If you're racing yes, if not, probably no. I read an article a while back
from someone that was primarily cruising and they claimed otherwise, will see if I can locate the article, was published in "Sail". John Cairns "The Carrolls" wrote in message news Well are they? |
