[quote=bacho]Any sail maker could change out the battens to allow furling. You just need to state that intention when you order one.
A far as laminate durability, The Dacron will be "useable" for many years longer all things being equal. Just consider how many 80's Hobie are still running around on used sails. However as far as a competitive life of these sails, its only a season or so. The laminate options will deteriorate over time, the mylar film holding the fibers in place eventually comes apart. If you take good care of the sails, keep flogging to a minimum, minimize chafing these still can still live 10 or 15 years. The laminates will hold their competitive shape longer than the dacron.
As far as the 6oz dacron from Murrays being "terrible", did they say why?[/quote]
