So if that's the intent, what is the difference in price between a Dacron Main and a alternative fabric ?
I just had my North sailmaker quote me retail prices on Dacron vs their best 3DL main: Dacron 3k, Carbon ~5300
To me that is a huge difference for a sail that does not last twice as long nor is it twice as fast. Sexy factor is very high though (-:
