A friend just gave me some of that high tec line which has 5 times the strength of the same diameter nylon monofilament. How soon will it be before they start making sail cloth with the same fibres woven in as ripstop, every inch or so?
Now that would be a 'Smart" sail. I've also read about it in fishing articles. I don't know how it stands up to UV , but plan to try it out.
Sounds like it could result in a bulletproof sail, out of far lighter material.
