Reply to: HELP!! Shipping a set of sails

[quote=Dogboy][quote=shipchips1]If I fold them won't that put a permanent crease in them? They are Dacron.[/quote] You said the sails you're shipping are almost new. Take a look at them, they probably already have crease marks from when Hobie folded them. I would try to just follow the existing creases so you don't add any new ones. Every new Hobie sail has these crease marks in them. I'm not saying it's necessarily the best thing for the sails, but it is what Hobie has been doing for decades. Once you pull on some downhaul and sheet tension, the creases go away. It's going to be a huge increase in cost to ship them rolled vs. flaked/folded. If they were a modern material you would probably want to roll. But for dacron, flaking can be done and a lot of manufacturers do this, not just Hobie. sm[/quote]
