I am getting ready to get a Blade 16 from Matt. Can't tell you how excited I am to be getting this great boat.

I have a question, looking for some opinions on sial material. The standard sail Matt is offering is a Dacron sail and jib. For $225 more you can upgrade to the pentax sail.

I have emailed Matt about the longevity of dacron, he responded that the newer tri-radial dacron has a longevity that compares very favorably to the pentax.

If this is the case, I think I will get the dacron, as I think the look of the blue and white main he has designed is great (attatched is the file). However, I am concerned that this sail would stretch over a short period.

BTW- standard sails- blue and white main, blue jib, yellow spin.

Any opinions?
