Advice sought from seasoned polytarp sailmakers....
My local hardware stores have a couple of weights of regular polytarp, and a
'premium' version which appears to be two thin layers of regular polytarp
fused together into one sheet. 'Premium' looks to be more robust and
airtight, at a cost. Anyone have any experience with this stuff, good or
bad? It would yield a sail which is blue on one side and green on the other.
I'm not sure if that's a plus or minus :)
