[quote=MN3]with discount sails you will shorten the sail's life expectancy and notice worse and quicker performance loss than with high-end sails. so pay now or pay then ... if you keep sailing and want performance .. it comes at a cost
i have purchased 4 technora sails for both my cats (5.5 and 6.0) and they do keep shape pretty well
edit :if you take real good care of them (rinse after use and dry thoroughly, flake if appropriate ), it will also significantly extend their life:
IF you don't race, don't care about top speed - that's a different story and dacron jibs may make sense (extended shelf life - but with blown out shape
i wouldn't recommend technora for a furling jib - it's life-span will be greatly diminished with furling but if you have the money ... then the 30%+ cost increase is worth it<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Jan 05, 2019 - 10:42 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
