America's Cup sail design
....
All seamless string sails do have seams. Molded sail technology relies on flat mylar in a roll form, they broad seam the mylar for the initial shape. Ain't marketing a great? Yeah, I know a sail maker who worked with a major on the last cup and he claimed that they routinely re-cut "molded" sails but their license with North required that they cover any seams with draft stripes. I guess the marketing boys didn't want to confuse the general public... -- Tom. |
