How can you first determine sail fabric? I'd think my Prindle 16 multicolored sail would be a mylar or dacron or something that last as long as the boat. I've heard Kevlar sails makes for great racing sails, but do not last long. So where stands Technora fabric, wich my Inter17R sail will be made of?

The cunningham (or downhaul) does not do much on my P16 sail for power control, but it works wonder on a P18-2 with a crisp and clear racing sail.



Thanks guys
