Thanks for the info - it will certainly help me choose the sailcloth. Will check Pentex prices now.
it was a bit of a surprise to me that Elvstrom was advocating Dacron..
They are not. Cognac is Elvstrom's representative/connection in Brazil, but the article is not signed by Elvstrom, only by Cognac. (also, the sails they make are different and use different sailcloth).
Very probably their article targets cruisers wondering what sailcloth to choose. Racers will take the last 0.1% extra speed and pay the price.
Cheers,
