Laminate Sails
I just bought a Genoa and Main from a "known" sailloft. The sails have
are built with this layered construction: 1. Scrim protective surface 2. Mylar 3. Fiber reinforcements 4. Scrim protective surface Both sails have built in wrinkles or buckles in areas that I believe are due to not having everything flat when assembling or drying the glues. Also the genoa is on a furler and the inside layer (as rolled up) seems to have buckled in small ripples away from the laminate since I first put it on. These ripples are 1/16 or so high in some areas of the sails. How common is this? Should I be concerned? What does it do to the performance? |
