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.

What do you mean rain doesn't affect Dacron.

Rain gets Dacron wet. Duh! Dacron expands when
it gets wet.

I'd like to know where you learned that. I've been to twenty websites
about dacron sails, and I haven't read that.

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

DuPont’s 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.

Do you really have your sails made from wallpaper? I guess with your
farts wallpaper needs as much stability when wet as sails would.
