3DL Marathon (Taffetta) Medium #1 with uv cover -- 11 months old -- Nov. 09
[List price $3K+]
This is the Taffetta version touted as the very best fabric for roller furling. at 155% I thought Medium would have done the trick ... Realize that this is 8 months of sailing on this sail.

In defense of North:
1. our season down here is 7 months long.
2. Vee Jay is out average of 2 times a week + regattas

Other considerations:
1. Vee Jay only goes out over 20 for regattas.
2. We roller furl every time we launch spin
3. We spin 95% of the times we go out in practices.

What do you guys think?
