wrote this crap: I don't do any of that sort of tedious book keeping. It's a simple matter to look at how the sails set and note the condition of the stitching when underway and when the sail is bent on, raised or lowered. The best time to not the shape of a sail is after a good rain when sailing for a day or so. When the sail dries, all the wrinkles smooth out and the sail looks primo. What do you got for sails? canvas? Rain doesn't affect dacron. Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now! |

What do you mean rain doesn't affect Dacron.
Rain gets Dacron wet. Duh! Dacron expands when it gets wet. CN "Horvath" wrote in message ... On Thu, 20 Jan 2005 17:21:44 -0500, Capt.

You learn by sailing in the rain. But, you would rather surf the net, it seems.

wrote this crap: http://www.nonwovens-industry.com/June032.htm DuPonts Dacron polyester fiber is currently used as a reinforcement material in wallpaper with more advantages during installation. These include no paste dwell time, immediate adhesion and dimensional stability when wet. I see, "stability when wet." To me, that means it doesn't stretch when wet. Pathetic Earthlings!

Do you really have your sails made from wallpaper? I guess with your
farts wallpaper needs as much stability when wet as sails would. Horvath wrote: On Fri, 21 Jan 2005 18:30:25 -0500, Capt.
