[bolger] Re: material for home made sails
peter... I can not say anything about ultra sail( because I have never dealt
with them) but I can tell you about Polysail. I have a polysail sail on my
bobcat and have been very happy with it..I did like that it was a 20 X 20
size and I did not have to seam it together... I did sew it at all the edges
with my carpet binding machine but I bet that a regular sewing machine would
sew it just fine... I did get all the necessary odds and ends with my kit
.( grommets... rope.... tape... instructions...).. I did speak with Dave at
Polysail the other day and he told me that he just received some new
material that had some sort of string or cloth in it .. I am planning on
see it some time this week. I will say that for the short time that I used
my sail last summer I was very happy with it ... I had thought about buying
a sail-rite sail for my bobcat this spring but I am not sure about it now
since I was very pleased with how the poly worked .. I am sure that a
Dacron sail would make "FOLLY" faster but I am not into racing ( or fast
for that matter) Hope that helps....
