If a sail is listed as Mylar/Kevlar is it a composite of both materials? Mylar is the base the other materials are built on. Can a sail of that type be converted from hank on to roller furling? Is it a cost effective conversion? Yes. You might have to shorten the sail. Usually this is done at the top. Any sail maker can sew on a luff tape. How well would it hold up? You would need some sun protection. I'd think it would not be a problem to roll up a sail. Folding is what you want to avoid. If you trash the sail, you can always get a new dacron sail. You would be happier with that than a fancy sail that is meant for racing. Another option might be to sell the sail and buy a Dacron sail right off the bat. |
