If your going square top, I would'nt use 5 oz Dacron, too stretchy. Pentex is the best option cost-wise. You might get a little preformance advantage using Kevlar of Carbon, but that small advantage will be short lived and probably not worth it unless you are buying sails to win the Nationals or something like that. The Pentex sails will be
a little more forgiving trim-wise, and that can be a good thing in chop.


Tell your sailmaker what kind of sailing you do and what
type of conditions you most often sail.

Good luck
