nice research ... thanks.
I'm looking to get a jenny and main same material but not OD for PHRF and am interested if anyone has run into something other than 3DL which has a limited life in strong sun.
I wouldn't buy a 3DL... ever. I've not been impressed with them other than break-neck speed out of the bag. The boat I most recently crewed at length with had a carbon 3dl main and it was deteriorating rapidly for whatever reason. If you want ultra light and fast, sure, but they've got the life-expectancy of tinfoil. YMMV.
In contrast, I had a set of Tapedrive gold on a previous boat and they held up remarkably well. If money were not in my decision making paradigm, I would definitely go that direction again. I think the silver main quoted is a nice sail, and would live a long and happy life compared to some of the others.
