[C320-list] New sail Update

[Dave Moores]

Rollie, yes the sailcloth has UV preotection.  It is a product from the
French company Dimension-Polyant, called "Alumashield".  Not sure if they
make it in the US or France though.

Dave, 
Does the sail have UV protection so you can keep it on the furler? Are the
materials No. American made? Rollie  #182
